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.

Re: quick install method (was Re: Deity project)

We can probably take this to debian-devel now,  since there doesn't seem
to be any sensitive info here.

The diety standard includes this,  so why don't we just work on getting
Diety finished?

	Maybe a debian-admin-howto.  Printing documentation can be handled the
normal way: lpr or enscript.  But that might need to be explained with a
simple line like "to print these docs,  do 'enscript docname'".
	Otherwise,  I find that the existing linux/unix manuals are more
useful than anything I could write.  The things we do need in this area:
	1) an explanation of the debian philosophy: the /etc/rc structure
and other things that are different between various types of unix: BSD/SV,
etc. Note that we don't need to say _how_ to run them,  just what they are
so you can read the appropriate section of your "how to run unix" book.
	2) A list of appropriate "how to run unix" books.  Maybe we can
convince someone who already wrote one to include a section on debian
(Anyone know Matt Welsh?)

Yes,  but I see that part of the problem is that the ones with the answers
are the ones who wrote the code.  Maybe we should just find a way of
referring dpkg questions to the dpkg and diety developers,  and X config
problems to the people responsible for our X packages.  Don't know how
those teams/maintainers would feel about that,  though.
