Thanks for the feedback :-)  I've got a lot of learnin' to do about
where things best fit, and I appreciate everyone's patience with my
crappy sense of humor.

Any comments on the current state of http://diy.devubuntu.com ?

I will echo Jans comments here. That is clearly documentation and as
such, falls under the documentation team.

I think this is a technical issue not directly related to marketing, and
therefore belongs somewhere in the Ubuntu documentation. It's a great
idea, though, and if done right could be a really nice HOWTO.

IMHO, it doesn't fit the purpose of spreadubuntu - which is for people
who want to spread Ubuntu to others. There are countless resources on
the net which give the user himself guidance to switch.
