Yes, once Jonathan is happy we can publish a package to the PPA for
easier widespread installation by Ubuntu users.

No, I doubt that. You'll have to ask Jonathan for the specific goals
that have to be met to declare version 1.0.

Once the openshot package is in the OpenShot PPA what I shall do is use
my own video-editors PPA to publish advanced test versions of the
supporting libraries and openshot before they get 'promoted' to the
OpenShot PPA - that way, as developers, we should test from my
video-editors PPA and if happy with stability and finding no
regressions, I can copy over the dependency packages.

I'd suggest only updating the OpenShot PPA once every couple of weeks or
less - maybe once a month - so that we provide some stability and
predictability to end users.
