-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I know.... in fact xfstt is on the list of "Packages needing a new main tainer" I know this list is not really the proper place for this but... since it needs a new maintainer...I am wondering what is involved in that I have been thinking for a while that I would like to pitch in and help out... ive looked over a few packages...and xfstt is a package I really like im just still a little unsure of myself and my abilities (supose its a self confidence issue)... this doesn't seem like a very hard package to keep up with and work on... anyon ehave any thoughts on whether this one is good for a "first package" to get ones feet wet? I really like this package and I think what it does is GREAT (it makes Netscape and other programs look so much better) ive been toying with the idea of this package and that it is "needing a new maintainer" for a few weeks now (I know I should probably look into the "Debian-mentors" list if I am considering volunteering but...between debian-devel and debian-user and BUGTRAQ....I have trouble keepin up with the nearly 300-500 e-maisl a day - -Steve On Mon, 20 Apr 1998, Remco Blaakmeer wrote:
