Ok, I've sent off the request for creating a mailing list.
I will anounce it when it is accessible
.. meanwhile I look if I can find a place to archive packages for
testing.
In the beginning the hardest thing will be to filter out the packages
which are promising, and hopefully we can get support from their
developers too.
One very good example for this is the utah-glx package, which has a
Debian package build directory in it's cvs. That way it is easy to
create snapshots very fast, and to bring the applikation as fast as
possible to the user/tester to try it out.
It should be just a matter of
#> apt-get install new-fancy-applikation
#> new-fancy-applikation
