Joey See my posting on -policy. Ill-informed? How about poorly documented task proposals which did not reflect reality? the changelog entry was taken straignt out of the task porposal as presented to the policy group; and since there has been no mention in the last few months in debian-devel, is it surprising that I assumed that the proposers of tasksel knew what they were talking about the proposal. manoj -- A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.
