Only thing I'd say about this, is that if we are gonna start uploading
stuff soon, the question of reorganisation of the repo and the possible
switch to gnome-doc-utils for the ubuntu part becomes (even more)
important. There will be a fair amount of initial work required to fix
the packages after the layout reorganisation (in fact there already is).

Shame if jbailey can't help, because he is really familiar with
everything and is keen on investigating things like integration of
translations with language-packs.

What caused the move away from him to Daniel?
