Sounds great. Especiually gettext would be great.

Yeah...  good idea. But it would be a good idea to see what needs to be
done and can be done and who is going to work on it (so a meeting would
be nice ;) ).

Yeah. Looks like we need an official Ubuntu representative ;).
It would be nice to have an ubuntu geek in the crew...

Anyway, this current ubuntu bugs seem to depend on Python 2.6/3.0 so
chances are we are getting these bugs on other distris sooner or later, too.

I don't like to work on these bugs as I don't like to switch to ubuntu
9.04 on my laptop before it has been released just to test it out.
Furtheremore my "main computer" is running gentoo ;).
