Matt, I'm not looking to pick a fight with you here.  It feels a bit
like you're taking this personally, and I don't think you need to.

You just have to keep in mind that even though all of *you* know what's
going on at Ubuntu, most of *us* don't.  I've tried to keep on top of
this (as much as I can), but I sure didn't know you were supposed to be
the main point of contact.  Maybe I missed something obvious... but I
did miss it.  Others appear to have missed it as well.

Well, ok, but that doesn't necessarily mean that whoever reads
<info@ubuntulinux.org> cares about this particular problem or has any
control over the Launchpad.  You presumably know who reads the mail sent
to that address; I don't.  My first guess was that it was a marketing
contact address, not an address used to get in contact with technical
people.

Well, that's good to know - but it was not obvious to me that the site
wasn't complete yet (not that I really care one way or the other).

No worries,

KEN
