Hi Peter, I'm sorry for the lag, free time is a mirage, lately... On Sat, 12 Jan 2008 00:00:38 +0100, Peter Van Eynde wrote:
I'll start migrating asap.
This is also my intention, at least for the packages I maintain. Then, I'll start pinging who already expressed a positive feeling to team maintenance and helping her/him to migrate.

9) do we need some other Alioth features, like the tracker, news, task manager or forum? I prefer to keep as simple as possible:
I got a complaint from a ubuntu user a while ago that he could not find a place to report a clc bug, so maybe having some hints on how to open bugs from non-debian systems would be nice to have.
Mmm, this could be a point in favor of the Alioth tracker, but I'm still skeptical. Anyway, for sure the team website is missing pieces: the idea is to provide links or, directly, all the necessary information to contribute and report bugs or suggestions.
Maybe we should enable the tracker if we want project's problems to be monitored by other than the Debian BTS [8]. However, about this issue, I'm in favor of a Debian cl-debian (meta)package, which would combines this project with a "basic" Common Lisp installation on Debian. This is a very new idea, thus it needs a bit more reflexion.
The 'standard' CL would depend on the architecture?
This could be an option, but my first idea was to poll the list users to know if there's a "major" CL implementation most people use and install it by default if no others are already installed. In this way, newbies have a common background when reporting bugs. This would also help developers, e.g. providing a cl-debian-policy package from the same source one. Anyway, let's discuss this after the team is completely operative ;-)
I'm eager of anyone comments :-)
How and where do we upload the darcs/git/bzr repositories?
Basically, I don't think the website should repeat information already available in the official Debian wiki: in alphabetical order bzr [1], darcs [2], git [3] and hg [4]. As I stated before, this needs to be integrate into our website, patches welcome. BTW, we should put the website into a VCS, too (no preference for me). What I'm still working on is how to have automatic commit mails for the different VCSs, since the Debian wiki has all the necessary information for git only [3]. I've a script for darcs (written by Marco Baringer for the BESE suite [5]), but I haven't completely tuned it to Alioth. Bzr and hg are still a bit unknown to me, so if people more involved with them would like to step in...
