Hi! Jon Ciesla, first time caller, long time listener.
Fedora packager since rawhide was Fedora 7. Linux user and game player since RedHat 7.1. I'm on FPC, and maintain a pile of stuff, including lots of games/
Useful links:

I can package, review, offer advice, etc. I have 2 kids so I'm highly motivated to keep several games working and find new ones. :)
Peace, -me

Hi!
I see you are the maintainer of Battle for Wesnoth (among lots of other things); first off, as someone who's played Wesnoth over the years using your packages, thanks for maintaining this game!
Do you think it would be feasible for us to provide a wesnoth-devel (maybe "wesnoth-unstable" would be a better name) package tracking the odd-numbered unstable/development release series? (For those on-list not familiar with upstream's development cycle, Wesnoth upstream maintains two parallel branches simultaneously; a stable branch, which is always even-numbered, and a development branch, which is always odd-numbered. So, for example, we're currently on 1.12 and 1.13).
It'd be nice if it was possible for both packages to coexist on the same system: the main advantage I see from providing a wesnoth-unstable is that it lets people (be they users reporting bugs or developers working on addon content) easily test against the latest development release in addition to the latest stable release.

Very welcome!

I can see the benefits, and it's been suggested before, usually when I upgrade rawhide to the newest release and people complain about backwards-incompatible saved games. I'm not sure how feasible parallel-installabilty is for wesnoth, but I'll keep it in mind. At the moment Wesnoth's 1.13 branch doesn't build on rawhide due to a bug in their python code, so we have some time.

Hi Jon! Welcome to the Games SIG! You're definitely not an unfamiliar face around the project. It'll be great to have someone with your experience and knowledge around here.
Will be looking forward to seeing you around here on the list and in the IRC channel as we begin coming up with plans and direction for the coming future. Thanks for the intro!
