-------- Original Message --------

OK, I actually meant the xubuntu-devel mailinglist but I guess feedback
here would be fine too :P

Anyway, does anybody see objections on endorsing this from xubuntu.org
<http://xubuntu.org>? If so, please let us know. If nobody has any
objections then I'll add a link on the website.
