Hi, I didn't have the time to answer these questions in the last week (though I discussed a bit of this at the LinuxTag).

I'm currently testing a different approach to P&P with one of my applicants. The first task is simple bug triage (which ensures that people know how to work with the BTS, the control bot and submitters). I plan to do something with QA (perhaps preparing a QA upload of a package or something like that) and i18n as second and third step. Some of the areas covered by the usual P&P templates can't be done like this, the gpg stuff is an example for that - but actually doing work and answering four or five questions seems to be far better than the current way. > * (For FD/DAM) What difficulties do you see in doing the final checks for > applicants assessed under a scheme of this sort?

Whatever you do, *please* provide a full mail log. Depending on the things you ask your applicants to do, an overview about the stuff they've done and some pointers to more information (ML discussions, PTS pages, bug numbers, ...) would be nice. I really can't say what I want to see, as I have no idea what you plan to do. It would be nice if you could provide a rough overview of the tasks you've planned until now.
