Hi,

I am neutral about discussion on if one more WM should be uploaded or not.

I am concerned about this package description of ITP and I wish it is
improved if it is uploaded to Debian.

Emmm... Package description should capture essential part of these
features as much as possible in few paragraphs. Pointing to URL link
should not be the primary source of information.

Otherwise, how do we tell which package to install by reading its
description.

Hello,

In fact, i didn't realized that the ITP description will be the
description of the final package.

I will edit it as soon as possible (i am at work, and i don't have my
PGP key, so i dont know if i can, since i used PGP to send the ITP
...)

But how can-i edit the description ?
Shoud-i use this http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control.en.html#summary ?

Thank in advance

Bug comments do not need PGP/GnuPG signatures - only uploads need those.

Just add a comment that the final description will be ....

You can use summary with that, yes, but as long as it exists in the bug
log, people can look at the end of the log.

Hi Mickaël,

I'm sorry that I did not include a warm welcoming statement in my last
mail. I'm happy about everybody who is interested in Debian and even
considers doing packaging work. I've found a community of great
professionals, friendly people and extraordinary personalities among
Debian's contributors.

I'm looking forward to hear more of you or meet you at a free software
event, e.g. next year's debconf in Switzerland?

Thus having said, I believe that the world (and Debians archive) does
have all the window managers it needs. :-)

Regards, Thomas Koch

+1 (says the guy building UDE from source)

As someone pointed out earlier, there are lots of different tastes when it
comes to window manager-like software... I expect there are more tastes than
available WMs--so, the more the merrier as long as its maintained.

Hi,

I've re-uploaded the package:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmfs/wmfs_2~beta201206-3.dsc

Now it should works.
