I am willing to maintain Portable.NET (or so-called the "dotGNU" project) packages. Portable.NET is an open-source, (L)GPL, implementation of the .NET 2.0 . I use my dotGNU RPMs quiet often and so far I haven't seen any problem with them. I maintain contact with other users of my RPMs via dotGNU's official IRC channel ( irc://irc.freenet.org/dotGNU ) and nobody complained so far. I have some more RPMs that would be very interesting to be in rpmfusion, but, since I am new here, I thought it would be the best to begin with something. :)

Well, I prefer using newsgroups instead, and this kind of reply is not my cup of tea to be honest, but OK, I wll reply at the bottom. :)

No, there is not a single issue here, it is just me not willing to spend time reading TWO mailing lists, TWO bugzillas, TWO repositories, etc. I would much rather prefer working on one place (I hope so) - RPMForge.

If someone wish later to put these RPMs into Fedora, I will not mind, but that person will have to maintain it.

Without someone to do the work and drive/maintain these (apparently != you), the answer should be obvious: NO. Unless, of course, someone else steps forward, to continue the work you started. -- Rex

Rex, I think you do not understand what I am saying ... I am willing to develop/maintain packages inside ONE repository (RPMForge). I am not saying to dump them here and leave. I am trying to explain why I cannot do this in two separate projects (Fedora main repo and RPMFusion repo) - I have no time for both! I have never said I am not going to maintain packages here (if they are accepted, naturally)

I have some more RPMs that would be very interesting to be in rpmfusion, but, since I am new here, I thought it would be the best to begin with something. :) This said, it is not difficult to understand that I need a menthor (if I understand that is rpmfusion's policy). So if someone wishes to menthor my first RPMs I am more than pleased to get in contact with that person. I will put RPMs somewhere tonight for you to analyse.

PS. do we have an IRC channel perhaps?

It's #rpmfusion on FreeNode. but the only page it is "officially" mentioned is http://rpmfusion.org/AnnounceRepository (I mean not on personal pages) it would fit nicely nearby the mailing lists link, but on the other hand it would not be too much consistent with those bullets ... any better idea?

Hello everybody, my name is Dejan Lekic and I am, among other things a core developer of the FLTK project (http://www.fltk.org).

I have some more RPMs that would be very interesting to be in rpmfusion, but, since I am new here, I thought it would be the best to begin with something. :)
