Could there be a main project for "Astrology" with sub projects for openastro.org and maitreya, and could I (pelliott11) be made the packager owner of openastro.org and maitreya? By making astrology a main project one avoids the political question about what the proper classification of astrology is. Alternatively, astrology could be made a sub-project of "Graphics". No matter what one's opinion of astrology everyone has to agree that astrology programs produce graphical output. I see that the openastro.org's upstream authors have also used this diplomacy. They have filed their menu for openastro under Graphics. But may be this is wrong because I see that "Graphics" is a development project for OpenSuse:Factory and I intend to package openastro and maitreya for all the distros I can..... Thank You.

My program peless has existed for a long time now. I was thinking that if it were a main project users could get it from "get software" without first setting search options.
I have also packaged Pelle van der Scheer's program openastro.org. If it were a main project or a subproject of a main project people could get it without setting search options. Perhaps there should be a main project called "astrology" and openastro be a subproject, because I am also thinking about packaging a another program called Maitreya.
If there were an project for openastro.org both I and perhaps Malcolm <malcolm_lewis@bellsouth.net> could be packagers for it since Malcolm was the first to package openastro on the buildservice. Also the author, Pelle van der Scheer <pellesimon@gmail.com>, if he has a buildservcie account and wants to be involved.
What is the procedure for starting a main project?
