[Pkg-cas-maintainers] Proposal for announcement on debian-devel at l.d.o

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

Here's a proposal for an announcement on debian-devel list.

----
Subject : Proposal for collaborative maintenance of CAS related apps in Debian
CC: pkg-cas-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org

We (Michele Baldessari and myself) are announcing a project for
collaborative maintenance of packages related to CAS (Central
Authentication Services) in Debian.

CAS is a SSO authentication framework for web applications [0].

There already exist some CAS client libraries in Debian (for Perl) [1],
but many other variants or implementations for other languages currently
lack in Debian.
Also, there's currently no packaging of the CAS server software in
Debian.

We propose that interested potential maintainers join us in a CAS
packaging team, to collaboratively maintain such packages in Debian.

You may find more details at
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCASPackaging and in alioth :
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-cas/

Feel free to contact us for more details at
pkg-cas-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org .

What do you think ?

Should we try and contact maintainers of these first :
