Initial Launchpad feedback



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Generally since joining the Testers team I've been fairly pleased.  I
was able to upload a package to my PPA and successfully build it,
which is pretty cool.  I very much like the PPA concept.  However, two
possible improvements:
It would be nice if PPA supported more architectures (I understand
this is a technical limitation for the time being)
I _definitely_ think PPAs should support building for all currently
supported releases.  I tried building my package for Dapper, Edgy, and
Feisty, and was surprised to learn that only Edgy and Feisty would
work (plus Gutsy).  It seems that it would only make sense for all
current releases to be available here, particularly for making things
available here that might be candidates for future backporting for
testing/use.

Outside of PPA, I am now the leader of a brand-new LoCo, so my biggest
headache at the moment is
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/66105.  I'd like to be
able to contact all people who apply to the team and send a welcome
message and some additional information, as well as send reminders to
people who haven't subscribed to our mailing list yet, but if they've
chosen to hide their e-mail address I have no way of doing so, and
team members can exist in an information blackout of sorts.  I'd think
this would be relatively easy to fix, and it's tagged as
"fix-it-friday", so please try to look into this soon.

Yeah, that's pretty much it - the rest seems good so far!  :)
