Yeah, we discussed it last time, glad to see the issue solved.

I also mentioned, at that occasion that I'd like to use 'vila' as
my launchpad ID and you suggested (how appropriate :) that I
mailed the actual owner.

I did it immediately.

https://launchpad.net/~vila 
email: vila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No answer.

I did it again one month later and another time a few days ago
with the same negative result.

So I suspect the email is dead (but not bouncing though). Since
this is a .edu, it may just be that the email is still valid but
the student long gone...

I don't know what the launchpad policy is regarding
recycling/revoking IDs and you may shed some light on the subject
so that I can claim it at the right time.

Thanks in advance,

       Vincent
