Great idea. I'll add it to the list.
On a separate note, we are holding Ubuntu Developer Week again in two
weeks, which is a series of IRC tutorials, talks and sessions and I was
wondering if it would make sense for somebody to demonstrate how to take
a formerly neglected package, bring it up to recent standards and submit
the patch for inclusion. Do you think that'd make sense?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Timetable still has some
empty slots.
Have a great day,
Daniel
