Remove the team Mugshot. The team logo will be incorporated in the
heading. 

Side portlets
      * Move the privacy portlet under the action menu. This is where
        the toggle of global state of the team's visibility belongs. I
        am aware that few yours can change the state, but this is also
        where the state will be shown of other object that can be
        private.
      * Contact this team should be in the action menu
      * The action to join or leave the team could in the side portlets
      * The change owner links in dangerous in the content, it should be
        included in the actions menu.
      * Move the PPA into the main area because the links are
        informational. They do not convey an action, subscription or
        event.
      * Polls are interesting I would have put them in the main content,
        but I like your treatment.
      * Can we show that latest 5 or 10 actions for the team using
        karmacache? (this is proposed for users)

Main content portlets
      * I wonder if the mailing list information can be incorporated
        into this to fill the space out.
      * Move related projects higher, we ideally want it next to PPAs
        because they are related. Many teams only exist to work on
        projects. if this falls below its current location we will have
        to reopen a the bug we closed by moving the section above the
        fold.
      * Teams need  away to get to their +maintained-packages
      * Answers is problematic. Teams only have questions that they are
        subscribed or assigned. Some teams do work as answer contacts
        (which is why they can set their language). We need to fix the
        portlet as it only shows subscribed, not assigned. It will only
        appear for a few teams. We need to fix the answers menu items,
        because a team cannot ask or answer a question.
      * Recently applied, recently proposed, and recently added are
        missing from the mockup.
      * I wonder if we should consider showing the names of RSS feeds on
        persons, teams, and project pages
      * Users are getting an expanded working on section. Is some of
        this applicable to teams? latest branches, subscribed bugs and
        blueprints. Teams can be assigned bugs, but I think that is
        crack. Well as we can see, they can be assigned questions and we
        are showing that.
      *
