Tasks, if you have basic knowledge about ["XML"]/["SGML"]: |
Help with packaging. |
There are several packages, which have been orphaned or where the maintainer is ["MIA"]. This currently includes all packages [http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mrj@debian.org maintained by Mark Johnson] in the past. |
Help fixing bugs. |
There are [http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-xml-sgml-pkgs@lists.alioth.debian.org several bugs] open. If you are interested, just send patches or maintain a package. |
Tasks, if you have good knowledge about ["XML"]/["SGML"] and their systems in ["Debian"]: |
|
Improve the Debian ["XML"] and ["SGML"] policies. |
Check the documentation for things to improve. |
Improve dh_installxmlcatalogs to read catalogs itself. |
The debhelper script currently needs to know all public and system IDs, that should be registered. It would make things a lot easier to parse catalog files directly. Something like package;catalog.xml. This should extract all system and public identifiers and do an local;catalog.xml;INSTALLED_CATALOG and package;system;SYSTEMID;INSTALLED_CATALOG on the fly, so maintainers do not need to do this by hand. Such a solution needs an additional option to avoid the registration of IDs found in the catalog. |
Tasks, if you have deep knowledge of the ["XML"]/["SGML"] (related) systems (used in ["Debian"]). This includes knowedge about the policy drafts: |
