Debian Printing Team
Work to form a proper team is in progress…
Initial proposal
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.)

Infrastructure
Infrastructure re-use definitive proposal:
Name |
Debian Printing Group |
|
Mailing-list |
<debian-printing AT lists DOT debian DOT org> |
The friendly ''takeover'' of debian-printing from gutenprint packagers has been ACKed by them. |
Alioth group |
collab-maint |
Collab-Maint is considered a consensus, and many packages are already using it. There is no constraint. (There is already pkg-cups and pkg-hpijs.) |
VCS |
Free |
There is no preference. |

To be done
Bugs
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
Update packages to latest packaging techniques
Update packages to new upstream versions
Merge back the Ubuntu changes
Discuss and eventually act on putting the packages under this team's umbrella
Triage and act on all bugs
Team
Make this a team page (see TeamTemplate please.)
