<br> An my opinion this system will mostly usefully in this way:<br><br>1. Co-maintenance of packages in Debian repository which current maintainer lose interest, but we have community which interest in live of this package. (For example interest for me binkd -
<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/binkd.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/binkd.html</a>)<br><br>2. Improve Debian mentioning, by giving environment for development and testing package, not simply submitting ready for upload package.
<br><br>3. Packages from derived distribution, which push some patches back for inclusion in official repository.<br><br>4. Maybe in pkg-* project. But i have very small information about this project and will see more closely on it.
<br><br> Therefore this project focused on improvement infrastructure for external contribution and collaborate maintenance of Debian.</div></div>
<br> I read most material about project evolution and see vary small activity last time. But i see that some people use created svn repository for work on packages. And i interested what other developers, included you think about current purposes of this project?
