Duly noted and changed (to partner projects), but I'm not sure that this
is the best title. Flavours are still good in its own right, or we can
just call them sister projects. Further comments are welcome.

I guess so. And we might just as well add them here if we're going to
list all of the community tools in one place. But I really have no
experience with these, so if someone with the relevant knowledge about
these tools can sum them up in the Doc, you are most welcome.
That said, I'm slightly worried that the doc is getting too big, and
that maybe we should split off the "Participating in the Ubuntu
Community" in some way. I don't how, really.

Thanks for the comments and the praise. I hope the doc will live up to it.

Cheers,

Andreas
