As has been said in this thread and others, Debian is currently suffering from lack of involved people in almost all areas, not only in specific teams. And thus we need to reach out and get more people involved, in general, not only for the core teams. But I'll answer about core teams in particular. > What are your ideas to make sure those teams keep running? I'd like to have two "Teams that need your help" pages, clearly listing the teams that need help and what is needed in order to help them. One of these pages would be contributor oriented, and the other one developer oriented. If a team has tasks that anybody can do, and tasks that require DD access, it can be listed in both pages, if you only can help by being a DD, then it can be listed in the developer page only. I also think that sometimes people get burned out when working in the core teams, because most of their work goes unnoticed. I'd like to raise awareness of the work done by these core teams, so that they could get more credit for what they do, and thus feel a bit more respected by the project as a whole. Zack's idea of mentioning the teams that need help in the "Bits from the DPL" message, is also another way of reminding potential team members that their help is needed. I'd do that too. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
