>From a quick glance it at least appears to be "fit" for Debian/Ubuntu,
having a GPL license. For packaging in Ubuntu there is a wiki page to
read.[0] For Debian generally you file a Request for Packaging (RFP) or
Intent to Package (ITP) bug against the wnnp "pseudo" package.[1]

Any other suggestions? We (Edubuntu devel team) have talked about cool
ways to let people suggest/vote/rate software for Edubuntu but I don't
think it ever took off. Perhaps a nice wiki page would work in the mean
time?
