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.

  The debian packaging system also has major disadvanges. The most prominent
  to me is lack of brief documentation. I need 10 pages that will teach me in
  one evening how to build and upload simple packages for distribution. Do you
  really think a software developer is willing to learn the whole debian
  packaging system in order to add an extra "make deb" line in his Makefile?,
  or, the admin to get a 2-year degree from debian.org in order to keep his
  system straight? No way! 

  How valuable is the ice cream maker that has 5 manuals and 35 manpages? 
  If simple and brief docs are absent, few will follow.

  What I say is simple. Make a 10 page document of how to make and upload
  debian packages, and publish it to debian-user. One month later, debian
  will have 1,000 packages, and 1,000 new mainteners.
