This was also a constructive response; thank you. You may be correct in your argument that I shouldn't try to fill both roles. But I promised to evaluate your contributor guidelines, and I've taken Michael Schwendt's suggestion that the best way to do that would be to try to push a package through the system and see what I discover on the way. One positive thing I can tell you about the early stages is that I am rather impressed with rpmlint. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
