Rock!

Definitely chat to Mako, who has been trying to keep up with Ubuntu Traffic,
but is kinda gridlocked at the moment (waaaaay too much traffic, and he's
doing lots of other things at the same time). ;-)

You may also be interested in contributing to The Fridge, which will have a
daily turnaround (being a news site in most ways), and can easily accomodate
regular update columns and the like. Have a look at the spec [1], and mail
me off-list if you're keen to be involved.

Thanks!
