Topic suggestions:

 1. Ubuntu-Packaging Manual for Newbies: chewed instructions for
building packages using PPA;
 2. Wth is ogre-model ? and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/137769 proposal;
 3. PPA version consistency:  how to build consistent version between
PPA & ubuntu;
 4. What is missing for REVU ?: which features are missing to deploy
(even, partially ?) REVU System over PPA.

Thanks
