my orphanage list

[Miriam Ruiz]

Hi!

Thanks for your report on the packages. I'm not at home this weekend, so I
won't be able to download and look at those packages until tuesday, but I
think we should take care of those we consider are worth it :) and probably,
as you suggest, drop those which are being maintained for inercy.

Do the rest of the group have similar ideas?

Greetings,
Miry
