Shapado is a form of QTS, in a sense that if someone asks the some Q, you can just provide a link to some answer from the mailing list, Also, in my case, I asked some question and the maintainer actually have me an answer (http://ask.debian.net/questions/default-python-for-debian-7-0). I know it's a trade-off, but your QTS sounds like overkill; it's yet another system. Rather, promote Shapado to package maintainers, and maybe they can subsribe to a tag or something. In fact, I like the format so much that Shapado should be THE place to ask Debian-related questions, just like StackOverflow is THE place to ask programming questions. note: THE doesn't imply ONLY -- blog: http://tshepang.tumblr.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
