My ideas for Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick)

[Vikram Dhillon]

Hi Jonathan :)
               First off apologies for not being active recently, I
have been swamped with school work and my exams are coming up so I
need to work on that :) I can take on maintaining moodle if we still
need it. What do you say?
