There are two important things involved: improve our way of working with tools that make it easier to maintain and improve the quality of our packages, and get more people to help us do our jobs. > What would you do about it, as a DPL? As I've already said, I will focus a lot on tying to get more people to help Debian, not necessarily through becoming Debian Developers. By being more welcoming towards the help of non-DD contributors, we could recruit the help of more people, thus reducing the current workload on the developers. One important example is fixing bugs. Developers spend quite a lot of time fixing bugs, and most of the time you don't need to be a DD to fix those bugs, anybody can help out fixing more bugs. Another example is the non-code parts of Debian, like documentation or artwork. Most developers don't have enough time for, or maybe just don't care enough about, these areas; we could definitely use the help of people that are not so code-oriented in order to improve the overall Debian experience. In general, the only way to keep up is to recruit more people, and I plan to work on that. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
