In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write:
Ok, I'm game.  I have had to fend off enough people from taking my
packages that this is worth my time.  Besides, I enjoy writing CGI, call
me sick.  What do we want/need/desire/despise and let's get this going.

a database with the stuff from wnpp (list of programs that should be packages,
and of orphaned/giveaway packages). would be nice to also handle tasks with
that (e.g. someone to check permissions of files and suid/sgid bits in all
packages).

the whole thing with a i will do it button, maybe also with a history
function. no access control: we will correct things, if some people do crap.
a daily or weekly journal to debian-devel would also be nice...

Hell, might as well implement the vacation stuff while we're at it.

I had a package of mine moved to orphaned and I never knew about it, we
should notify maintainers whenever thier packages are orphaned.

1998-06-25 Thread Shaleh
Well classes just ended (I was taking a summer course).  So everyone put
your heads together and tell me what you want.  Once a general idea is
agreed on I will happily code it.  If we want vacations and stuff --
that is fine also.  How much security are we allowing for here?  How
should we control access to the page??  Maybe it would be better to
write a shell script on master/va for vacations?  `vacation -on -time=5
days shaleh` (as long as shaleh=uid I get set to vacationing for x). 
This will then be displayed on a web page and/or sent to a mailing list
once a week.

Basically I enjoy small, stupid coding projects like this.  Lets me
vent.

Make sure you don't miss out on any prior work done around this area.

Was netgod involved?  I seem to remember someone saying so, but he hasn't
commented on this thread yet.  So I've been rude enough to Cc: him directly
