[csw-maintainers] Proper way to adopt / work on packages?

Maybe each maintainer could write on his wiki bio page his current work 
and packages. Giving a list of package he is working on ?

Yes commit early, but take care to the syntax of the makefile. It is 
*prefered* that target check-upstream is working.  This target is used 
to check for available updates of software sources.

Actually there is almost no public documentation about this. I'll write 
some after Zurich. This target is croned each night to detect 
availability of updates. Maintainers will be notified by email.

This is currently under test, and will be activated soon.

Cheers,
W.
