Totally agree with Andy. Launchpad and our forums take a major part of our waste time. This time lost is precious and like the development begins to start for the 1.4.0 and the 2.0 (?), we will be concentrated on . We have so much to implement/do and So we could do all. More participation is needed. we are so numerous that we can do that. Anyway, like my waste time is reduced currently (and for a while) and I must provide more efforts than planned, I will be not present (as usually) on this sites for staying focused on the code/develpmnt. For the French comunauty (i.e Lprod and Ubuntu-fr) soon I will find some help (I hope). 2011/6/15 Jonathan Thomas <[email protected]> > Hi Andy, > That is a great question.
