Work-Needing and Prospective Packages for Debian GNU/Linux
wnpp@debian.org
Mon, 22 Feb 1999 10:16:07 -0500
This document is intended to identify areas that could use your
contributions, and to avoid duplication of work. It supplements the
regular Debian Developer
documentation:, providing a current list of packages which are
either:
- orphaned,
- withdrawn from distribution,
- maintained but its developer would like to find a new person,
- currently being worked on to include in the distribution, and
- good ideas -- nice to have, but no one is yet working on them.
Newer versions of this document are available via FTP and HTTP,
updated daily as things change:
Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to the
WNPP maintainer (wnpp@debian.org). New packages should also
be discussed on debian-devel@lists.debian.org.
New Maintainer Wanted: 59 Being Adopted: 59
Orphaned Package: 45 Being Debianized: 154
Withdrawn from Dist: 15
To Be Withdrawn: 11 On Vacation: 3
