Dear all,
in these days several guys complaint with me about the difficulty of finding one particular external in the sea called Deken. The main problem is that people have patches on Extended and the difficult task is to switch on Vanilla + Deken.
So, the most trivial solution that comes to my mind is to create a Latex template where put for each library several infos like the name of the library, the maintainer, the version, and the list of objs maybe with same extra informations. My idea is to provide a general latex template and people can help this project downloading the template and then start to put all informations.
However, the main point is: it si useful? I mean Floss[1] provides something similar, and before to start this project I was just wondering about its concrete helpfulness. Maybe something similar is present and simply I don't know about it. In these case, it could be an idea to upload it on Deken and when people just press "enter" or some typos Deken can suggest to download this pdf.
Finally, an object list can be useful to understand who is maintaining what and what is actually not maintained.
Probably it's only a boring idea. Let me know.
Best regards.
