If you want help, then just say so: I should know cdbs as I develop it!

If you want to continue working on your own then feel free to do so - my 
help is just a friendly offer :-)

I fail to understand what man pages have to do with this.

As I see it, the main question is whether you want to 1) work together 
with me using my packaging style or 2) want to work on your own and find 
someone (else than me!) to sponsor that work.

(the third option of working with other OLPC Team members than me is 
really just theoretical until any of them becomes active)


Kind regards,
