When people visit a source package page, they probably have a particular goal in mind already -- for example, to report a bug about that package. So doing the linking then would be a distraction. But if <http://launchpad.net/ubuntu> and <http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick> were more interesting hubs for Ubuntu development, including a random selection of "Things you can do", linking a package to its project would be one example of something quick a contributor could do. - -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwXKEMACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecp0XACfZR09VCjc4CiRmtw6g51164g7 qjEAoKpsROfB72BecPtvnnxir8bdKSaq =XOwr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
