Thanks Cyril for creating this bug and all the work you're doing related to implement the decisions of the general resolution about non-free-firmware. I have created 2 branches in the webwml repo: 1.- branch GR-non-free-firmware Where I plan to work on reflecting the changes that we should do in the website on this topic 2.- branch bookworm to prepare the changes for the website related to bookworm release that at not related with non-free-firmware (e.g. website banner, the usual changes we do for releases [1], etc) Both of them are empty for now, but I plan to put some work in the following days, and encourage everybody to help too. [1] I think it's not well documented but I usually use these 2 wiki page as reference: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity/ReleasePointAnnouncements https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/ReleaseCheckList/BookwormCheckList Kind regards, -- Laura Arjona Reina https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona El 30/1/23 a las 7:21, Cyril Brulebois escribió: > Package: www.debian.org > Severity: important > > Hi, > > This was mentioned a few days ago on debian-project@ by Gunnar: > https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2023/01/msg00018.html > > but much work has happened since then, with debian-installer components > having been extended to leverage this new component.
