Loïc, Nathan, It is in principle possible to transform REVU into a super- sophisticated package-analysis machine that would extend Lintian's capabilities and it is even in principle possible that virtually error- free packages would result. The point is, it doesn't solve our problem, because

Hi MOTUs, It's Friday, Jan 23, 2009 and it's REVU day! We need all MOTUs on deck! A similar plea was sent out last week, but to not much avail. We really need MOTUs to go and make at least one review. This week we have ~128 packages waiting for review. That's an increase of 15% in a week!

Hi, I volunteer to draft a new GettingStarted page, and I will collect with gratitude any contributions from this list or otherwise. Excellent. I'm happy to review, improve and discuss. The only thing I'd like MOTU/GettingStarted to be is - a concise landing page - that links to all
