Greetings! First, I guess it would be a good idea to introduce me and the project I'm talking about. I am working as a Webmaster for a finnish IT company. Our Web Team does all of the development using Free Software tools, and also participates actively in some projects in our field, most important of these being the Midgard project. Midgard is a freely-available web application server based on PHP3 (http://www.midgard-project.org).
Now, as I use Debian boxes at work, I have been thinking on making a Debianized version of Midgard so that it would work better for users of this very nice distribution. However, after studying the matter for a while, I understand that while I could easily get Midgard packaged and make it available, I still wouldn't propably have enough time to fulfill the responsibilities of a Debian Developer properly. Because of this I am asking you whether there would be interest in some of you to work on creating an maintaining the Debian packages for this application server suite. The Midgard Project is evolving quite fast and new versions are popping up every few weeks. It is licensed under LGPL with example code in it distributed under the X Consortium license. This would make it suitable for the main branch. However, as it depends on MySQL (non-free, I guess) at this point it should propably be placed in contrib. We are looking to add support for other databases and this problem should disappear sometime during June. If you are interested in the project, please contact me and I'll be happy to help you with getting the project started and working. Thanks in advance! /Bergie -- -- Henri Bergius -- +358 40 525 1334 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.iki.fi/Henri.Bergius
