I just uploaded.

Lots have been done in the packages.

 - A team was created with some guys that were working on it.
    https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team
 - The packaging is hosted at bzr.
 - PPA repository was created.

Can someone take a look at nx and nxcompshad that is in revu?

Thanks
Shima
