.. _faq:
In the course of our own research endeavors |we| have joined forces to
develop `PyMVPA -- a Python framework for multivariate pattern analysis of
- neural data <http://www.pymvpa.org>`_. To conveniently deployment PyMVPA for
+ neural data <http://www.pymvpa.org>`_. To conveniently deploy PyMVPA for
anyone using Debian-derived distributions this package repository was created
initially. Besides the PyMVPA_ project |we| collaborate with the `NiPy team
<http://neuroimaging.scipy.org>`_ on various projects, such as NiBabel_ and
NiPype_. Quickly NeuroDebian_ became the ultimate integrated environment for
- all these projects. We are now constantly working on enriching this
+ all these projects -- and we are constantly working on enriching this
environment with as many additional relevant software as possible.
NeuroDebian aims to be a platform that provides a staging area for
neuroscience software packages on their way into Debian. All packages are
- properly registered with the relevant `Debian Pure Blends`_, e.g.
+ properly registered in the relevant `Debian Pure Blends`_, e.g.
`Debian Science Cognitive Neuroscience`_ or `Debian Med Imaging`_. Inside
Debian these efforts already provide a suitable framework for this purpose,
and hence there is no need to establish yet another one.

+I want to help. How do I get involved?
+--------------------------------------
+
+ We always need people to help maintaining existing packages. If you need
+ some additional software packaged and you want to try it on your own, we would
+ be happy to mentor you. We also have a :ref:`list of ongoing and planned
+ projects <projects>`, each listing a number of tasks that need to be done.
+
+ If you found something you are interested in, please email the
+ neurodebian-devel_ mailing list and let us know about it. Thanks!

When does a package migrate from NeuroDebian into Debian proper?
----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. The term :term:`non-free` refers to an archive section. NeuroDebian uses
- exactly the same :ref:`archive sections as Debian proper
- <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html>`. The *non-free*
+ exactly the same `archive sections as Debian proper
+ <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html>`_. The *non-free*
section contains packages that have certain restrictions regarding **your
freedom** to employ them for a particular purpose. In contrast, for packages
in the *main* section your are completely free to do whatever and in whatever
packages in NeuroDebian are provided free of charge and under the licensing
terms of the original developers.
+.. _sec_pkg_authentication:
+
+What means "The following signatures couldn't be verified..."?
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you start using this repository, you probably get warning messages
+like this::
+
+ The following signatures couldn't be verified because
+ the public key is not available.
+
+Or you will be asked questions like this over and over::
+
+ WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
+ ...
+ Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
+
+This is because your APT installation initially does not know the GPG
+key that is used to sign the release files of this repository. It is easy to
+make APT happy again. The simplest way is to install the ``neurodebian-keyring``
+package that is available from the NeuroDebian repository. Alternatively:
+
+1. Get the key. Either download the `repository key from here
+ <_static/neuro.debian.net.asc>`_
+ or fetch it from http://wwwkeys.pgp.net (2649A5A9).
+
+2. Now feed the key into APT by invoking::
+
+ apt-key add #file#
+
+ Where `#file#` has to be replaced with the location of the key file you just
+ downloaded. You need to have superuser-privileges to do this (either do it
+ as root or use sudo).
