it is a completly new project, we'll see how it will evolve. We would
need an sponsor anyway, but there are some interested DDs for that. You
need an alioth account and contact then Raphael Hertzog to add you to
the team.
I will upload the current ubuntu package to collab-main svn then.

I was involved when reviewing and eventually uploading it to ubuntu, I
use it from time to time on my ubuntu laptop.

I'm currently on the other way round: in order to help ubuntu further,
I started NM myself in order to bring packages like wifi-radar to
debian. This is one pice on my fight to lower divergence :)
