Now 4 ppl on #debian.de (IRCNet) asking the same question within 1 or 2 hours finally was the last straw. I took action and startet the FAQ collection immediatly. First time I used sgml.

I also started a rebuild of my homepage using wml (my first time using wml too). I'll probably be able to finish it within a week or so.

Crist van Pelt released a new upstream version of deborphan which I've yet to package. Because some fellow developers on #debian asked /NOT/ to upload a package soon it's not really of a high priority. Rationale for not uploading is that a Package needs to be at least 14 days in unstable to get into testing. The current deborphan already is 4 or 5 days old so I'll have to wait about 10 days. Should be plenty of time to do an untar, cvs import, dch, and cvs-buildpackage. Not to forget the dupload.

Somehow I absolutely don't feel like coding currently although I have a few interesting ideas wrt anonymous remailers. I already collect remailer stats from several pingers (which remindes me to check out that perl script - it produces hanging processes every now and than). It would be great to analyze and visualize the numbers somehow. Like what's a remailer's mean latency and uptime, how does it evolve over the time and such things.

Shorty promised to do some work on keylookup a few weeks back. Nothing happened so far. Looks like I'll finish the project alone. Only two or three things are still in the TODO file. For those who don't know, keylookup is a small script that allows you to query a given keyserver for a searchstring, shows you the list of matches and then offers to import each of the keys into your gnupg keyring. Should be quite easy to support pgp too but I don't care.

Had a short email conversation with Martin Michlmayr and Joy about that wnpp should really be a mailling list. We agreed and I filed a bug against lists.debian.org. Hope we get it soon.
