Jeder kann sich als "Brave GNU World Scout" betätigen und dafür sorgen, daß interessante Projekte in der Brave GNU World erscheinen. Dazu ist es im allgemeinen nur notwendig, die Maintainer der Projekte anzuschreiben und ihnen eine spezifische Liste an Fragen zukommen zu lassen. Die folgende Liste hat sich für diesen Zweck bewährt, da sie mir recht gut erlaubt, ein Gefühl für das betreffende Projekt zu bekommen. Also schickt den folgenden Text einfach an Projekte, die Euch "Brave GNU World-würdig" erscheinen.

Ach ja - bombardiert die Autoren nicht mit diesen Mails. Wenn sie ein paar bekommen, zeigt es, dass Interesse an ihrem Projekt besteht. Wenn derselbe diese Mail zehnmal schickt, wird es nervig.

Brave GNU World standard questions

Brave GNU World standard questions:
-----------------------------------

INTRODUCTION:

 These are the standard questions for the Brave GNU World column that
 can be found online at http://brave-gnu-world.org. 

 It has become customary to fill out these questions and mail them
 back to <column@gnu.org> in order to give me a good
 feeling/impression about a project. This also applies to
 non-technical projects, btw. 

 Please feel free to be as verbose as you want as more information
 will allow me to gain a more complete picture which I can then use to
 write a more complete feature.


QUESTIONS:

 * What is it?

 * Who would use it?

 * Why would they use it instead of similar projects?

 * (Programming) language used in this project?

 * Special features/strengths?

 * Special problems?

 * Who is working on it?

 * History of the project?

 * Why did the project start?

 * Current status of the project?

 * Plans for the close and distant future?

 * Do you need help? If so: of what kind?

 * Interesting/fun stories that might juice up the story?

 * Website/FTP addresses?

 * License?!

 * Standard documents to read in this context?

 * Anything you would like to see mentioned?

 * Answer to a question I forgot?


NOTE:

 Everything you want me to read should be sent to me by
 mail because very often I will take my mail with me and 
 read it where I don't have access to the net.
