Hello,
this is an announcement of news from the Debian New Member Front Desk.
* nm.debian.org has a new theme
Taking advantage of SnowCamp[1], Enrico worked at a new base template
for nm.debian.org. The site should look better, adapt better to a wider varieties of devices, and being based on well-known frameworks like Bootstrap[2], be easier to expand and improve.

[2]
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libjs-bootstrap4
* Official list of Debian Members
We now have an authoritative list of all official Debian Members at
https://nm.debian.org/members/ which is linked from the official website
at [1] and at the bottom of [2].

* Improved person search
https://nm.debian.org/public/findperson is now much more stable, easier
to use, and usable from mobile.
* Full name vs LDAP information
The site has historically used the LDAP structure for storing personal information, including the first/middle/last name distinction. This has
been a long-standing issue, as that distinction is incorrect in a way or another for several Debian members and contributors[1].
The site now allows a person to provide their full name as they deem appropriate, and has a separate section for filling in broken-down LDAP
fields for legacy compatibility with the current Debian infrastructure.
[1] For example:
https://bugs.debian.org/691628
* Tracking MIA Application Managers and Front Desk members
A new page[1] tracks the last known activity of Application Managers and
Front Desk members, to help keeping the staff status up to date.

* New mailbox viewer
Visible only to applicants and application managers, the viewer for the
mailbox archives in the site is now significantly refactored, and should
look and feel a bit more like a standard mail reader, making it faster
and smoother to use.
Enrico
