Much better :) I pushed the changes so they should be available
shortly (launchpad takes on average 5 mins. to process the changes) so
you can view them later on. I don't know if anyone can specifically
mentor you in bzr, see there are a lot of features in bzr that we
don't normally use. You can ask me if you have any questions and I'll
try my best.
