RFC: Forming a Printing Task Force (was RFA: cups -- Common UNIX Printing System)

[Didier 'OdyX' Raboud]

Hi Till; hi all, 

Thanks for this answer. I'm hereby CC'ing those packages maintainers and I added 
those to the wiki page: 

	http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Printing

Packages maintainers: This is a proposal to put all printing-related packages 
under a common team. The discussion happens on pkg-cups-
devel at lists.alioth.debian.org and on the above wiki page. This is not a hijack 
nor a takeover: if you don't want to put your package under that eventual team 
umbrella, please simply state so (and remove your package line in the wiki 
page).

Thanks in advance,

OdyX
