About us...
Horde is a web application Framework written
in PHP with modules like IMP (webmail), Turba (contacts), Kronolith (calendar),
Nag (task list), Gollem (file manager), etc. Debian is a free operating system, developed
by more than a thousand volunteers from all over the world who collaborate via
the Internet. And pkg-horde is a team to provide high-quality Debian
packages for Horde. We use a public GNU Arch repository and
communicate mainly with a mailing list.
Generalities
We really, really want to avoid the situation where packages are maintained by an egalitarian team where everybody is responsible of everything and thus everybody relies on the others to do the job and thus nothing happens. So we want every package to have one "real" maintainer who feels responsible for it; the others in the team can help out and do uploads.
That "real" maintainer is by convention the first one listed in the "Uploaders:" line of his packages. The other members of the team come after. Here is canonical email addresses for actual members of the team: Ola Lundqvist <opal@debian.org>, Lionel Elie Mamane <lmamane@debian.org> and Gregory Colpart (evolix) <reg@evolix.fr>. The "Maintainer:" line is Horde Maintainers <pkg-horde-hackers@lists.alioth.debian.org>.
Our GNU Arch repository
The full sources to all our packages are in our GNU Arch repository. We maintain an upstream branch for the upstream code, one sid branch for the Debian packaging work (which branches off the upstream branch) and - if any stable update is done - a etch branch for stable updates.
