/!\ Work to have this page a proper team page is in progress… /!\

== Initial proposal ==

[[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532097#28|RFC: Forming a Printing Task Force]]

As stated in the above mail, the situation is not really good in the printing scope : the diff with Ubuntu is growing, the bug reports are piling, several security issues have arosen, etc. In order to solve this in time for squeeze, the idea is to merge multiple teams and their diverted forces into a bigger single "Printing Team".

This renewed team would handle the packages from the list below.

== Concerned packages ==

Please list here the packages that would be handled by the eventual team. Please also remove them if needed.

(Please keep alphabetical order.)

Debian Printing Team

Infrastructure

Interacting with the team

  • Email contact: <debian DOT printing AT debian DOT org>

  • Public IRC channel: #debian-printing on irc.debian.org (OFTC)

Usual roles

Task description

This team's task is the maintainance of the Debian printing stack.

Get involved

Bugs

Quoting Martin Pitt

  • Someone who knows the Linux printing system very well needs to sit down and write a comprehensive "?how to debug printing problems" document: in particular, how to identify in which package the problem is, which debug information to collect, and common workarounds/tests which help the reporter's immediate problem and are useful for diagnosis.

Packages

  • {*}{*}{*} Triage and act on all bugs
