Re: Perl packages in XML/SGML group

Daniel,
	Yes you can be retained as Uploader for all three packages. The Debian 
Perl team uses subversion (though with a different layout). I find the 
Debian perl layout easier to use. You can apply to join at 
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-perl/. I am not sure it makes much 
sense to have a team as an uploader though. I don't think we need to do 
anything special with SVN. We just do "apt-get source; make changes and 
then svn-inject and purge the old repository".
