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.

how about "etexts"

yep. "doc" is for documentation. "texts/etexts/readings" is for e-texts.


actually, i can't see much point in having too many etexts available
as .deb packages. After all, that is what the net (especially the web)
is for :-). Maybe we should recommend limiting etext packages to those
with specialised searching/browsing/annotation software. Even better,
recommend not using specialised searching/browsing software but to use
web-based tools.
