Welcome to the first issue of the Debian Project News, the newsletter for the Debian community! blablablablabla to be written

Surveying the Debian community

In the spirit of the "bits from" mails send by various officers and groups within Debian, Paul Wise prepares a [http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/03/msg02475.html:"bits from the users of Debian"] mail, in which he tries to summarize feedback he got and get's from various users of the Debian operating system and send it to the development community around Debian. Users are asked to send him via email what they are using Debian for, what gripes they see and similar.

To get a full picture Paul is searching for volunteers who would like to translate and forward his request to our non-english speaking mailing lists and send answers translated back to him.
