Hi,

I set up the drupal site on the test/play server here: 
spreadubuntu.houbsi.org
All I did until now is installing the current ubuntu.com theme. (ubuntu07)
If you need an account to work on it, send me an e-mail and I'll be 
happy to give you one, if not, I promised Houbsi not to let more people 
than necessary have access to it ;-)

A couple of comments before going to bed...

If someone would start working on the Site, specifying specs and goals 
for a start, that's great. But no stress here. I have some ideas on it 
too, but nothing really clear. (make it a place to share marketing 
ideas? or only a discovering site? etc... )

A bit vague... but I see your point ;-)
I will add the setting up of a clear list in the todo on the wiki, the 
classification system still needs precision on the exact criteria.

Yes, my reflections are on a longer term basis. For a start you're 
completely right.

I don't exactly see why you need a local copy of the UserNames from 
launchpad. Isn't this precisely not an issue due to openID? (If not we 
should talk with LP admins if it's possible to directly use their user 
database imo...) Correct me if I understood you wrong.

Good point, I don't know if I'll have time either, maybe tomorrow 
evening but not sure at all.


good evening,
