The "bug not found" bug?

Congrats to Felipe C. for the Bug-not-found bug (aka: the bug with the magic number 404 404) :-)

And thanks for the spanish translation.

Whining developers

Here's my contribution to the next DWN:

Some developers continue to whine in inappropriate places [1] about others being paid by Dunc-Tank for their work on Debian.
[1] http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2006/42/

Would you please cut down your childish behaviour a bit more? Can someone else maybe step up and do DWN instead? I'm sooo getting tired of this (and you).

(Granted: at least you didn't claim that everybody is demotivated because of this, or that it delayed the etch release. Thats why I added the "more" in the previous paragraph; also what you wrote is likely correct - I can't judge your true motiviations, if you are actually demotivated or if you just don't like AJs hair color.)

It's a very subjective point of view, and while somewhat marked as such ("because its editor can't ignore other duties while the Debian project is indirectly paying some developers"; however there are six editors listed at the end!) I find it inappropriate to put this into DWN (which should try to be obejctive). To me, it's just another lame attempt of you to voice your disagreement with Dunc-Tank (again, note that you have been heard by the whole community, there is no censoring being done) in an unfair way (because I couldn't voice my opinion in the same place).

Did you at least talk about this paragraph with the other "editors"?

(Note: I'm not directly pro dunc-tank, and I find the way AJ introduced it not too appropriate; my suggestion would have been to ask him kindly to step down from having a position in the dunc-tank board. However I'm certainly not demotivated by it, but I find it both good that key people of Debian are being paid without having additional responsibilities to some company, and that there is now a way to donate to Debian that won't just eventually maybe be used for something, but where I can clearly mark it for.)

[Yes, I am aware that others are just as annoyed by my responses to Joey&co. Especially when they happen to agree with him. Nevertheless he maybe shouldn't be abusing DWN!]
