We should really make this stop... 
Every time it's mentioned, lots of people try it, and we (local support
mailinglists, IRC) get to clean up the fallout (broken systems, people who
are suddenly annoyed with all of Ubuntu because 'it came from an official
site, didn't it?'). 

The forums should really be moderated by 'official' people (like the mailing
lists are), so broken software like this doesn't get as popular. And using
the launchpad login system would rock too, but I can see why that's Hard.

Oh, and the forums would probably do well to add links to Launchpad for bug
tracking, because forum posts just don't really work well (as almost no
developers read the forums)

Why don't you just work with the DocTeam to make the docs IN ubuntu better,
so EasyUbuntu isn't necessary?
