The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

yep, I believe that defining that standard is the single most important
aspect of this job - if the standard is well defined and relatively
simple then there can be a multitude of ways to interact with it.

 - what the config database is, what it can store, structure, data types
 - how to retrieve data from it (+ sample code and a library)
 - how to store data into it (+ sample code and a library)

once we have a basic config system working, we can add refinements to it
like Makefiles and HTML interface etc.
