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.
