Sorry guys,

I didn't start that wiki page, but it was marked as an approved possible
specification on Launchpad and I thought it could be quite neat so I
contributed some ideas, including most of what is listed on those news
articles as factual strategy.

The launchpad page about this wiki page states quite clearly that it's
just a brain dump, nothing more, but that "The idea behind the
specification is sound and the project leaders would incorporate this
functionality if the work was done." - which of course on a publically
editable page only applies to the version of the text read at the time
this decision was made.

I also included a note on the wiki page suggesting the page was moved to
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TribeLife (for obvious reasons highlighted in
the news articles) but someone kindly removed the comment yesterday (see
wiki history).

It was purely a braindump of ideas for something that could be quite
cool, obviously with no official endorsement. Since when is something
posted on a public wiki official news?!

Anyway, apologies for any confusion caused by bad journalism. It could
be something neat to implement... in perhaps two or three versions time!

Best Wishes
