Further reducing my involvement with Ubuntu

[Thomas Ward]

I have a feeling that'll happen, but I'll leave that to the Release team.  Eithier way, I have a code clone so I can start examining the code (and potentially improving it for my own needs or using it as a base for stuff).

Yay for open source software, am I right?  😊

Yep,

My original e-mail included a link to the bzr repo for the code.

I suspect that part of moving it to a new home will include converting that to git and writing down more up to date instructions on how to install and run it.
