I think it would be useful to gather all packagers together and have a meeting. I think this would help maximize our efforts and help out new comers to opensuse packaging. Maybe once a week on Wednesday.
With community/contrib repos and being able to contribute to openSUSE factory, more organization among the packagers in the community could help develop a great set of repositories and help share the work load that the current packages have.
Last night made me think about this. I packaged up the new gimp 2.6 for factory and submitted it (which took some time to get everything together). It was rejected because someone else already had done it. If I had known that someone else was working on it, I could have put all of that effort into another package.

I think that's a great idea. I also observed when several people worked together trying to package a component for mouseTrap, only to discover that after all their work, they realized someone else already did that component. There needs to be a better awareness thus reducing duplication of efforts. -- Bryen Yunashko Proud 2008 Candidate for openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
