I can understand that point, and to be perfectly honest, I consider my
own projects to be more important to me then this. As I am not an accual
member of the ubuntu-core development team, I am starting to tend to
leave things like this to them. However I find ubuntu to be a huge jump
in the right direction and would love to contribute with my own code.
( I would translate, but I only speak german and english and they are
covered )Maybe you could point me in the right direction.
