Compiz - call for help with documentation
Hi there, I've uploaded a basic template for some short documentation about activating compiz/desktop-effects to the documentation team repository. It looks like this: https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/desktop-effects/C/desktop-effects.xml I'd appreciate some help with people who know something about what compiz does in improving: 1. The list of features of compiz in the introductory section; 2. Some documentation about configuring compiz (adding and configuring plugins, for example). Just the basics (and potentially links to more information) will be fine. Compiz seems to make my machine unusable at the moment so I'm finding it hard to find out. If other people are having this problem too, we will probably want to include some kind of "this software is pretty ropey" disclaimer somewhere in there too. Some documentation exists at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Compiz but it doesn't seem to be very Feisty orientated. Send contributions to the ubuntu-doc mailing list ASAP (string freeze is now in a few days) in any form.

GetDeb.net vs. Backports...
Hi, I just came across www.getdeb.net today. The goals appear to be similar to those of the backports project (to provide the latest versions of desktop apps for previously released versions of Ubuntu). However, they also have a number of packages available that aren't in either Debian or Ubuntu's universe (for example Referencer: http://icculus.org/referencer/index.html ). I'm wondering if there's some way to get a dialog started to make sure the work of the GetDeb.net folks gets integrated into the universe. Here's the contact page for the project: http://www.getdeb.net/contact.php Just a user concerned about duplicate packaging work being done... mike -- Michael R.

Herd 3/4/5 Testing Result (one show stopper bug)
Hi, Apologies if this seems forward, I simply want to ensure the developers are aware of a potential show stopper bug that has affected myself, one other person and very likely others. I usually track the bleeding edge and always have the latest dev release on my desktop machine. A little over a month ago I was forced back onto edgy due to a bug that completely prevents GNOME (and seemingly KDE as well although it didn't investigate as thoroughly with Kubuntu) from starting. This results in a completely unusable desktop. The bug in question is: feisty dbus/avahi crash... causes gnome to not start. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/88252 The issue has something to do dbus, hal and or avahi. I'm not entirely sure. This happens to me on both i386 and amd64. This issue appears to be limited to certain hardware in some way since feisty does work for most people. Again, apologies for raising the issue here. I have only done so since the bug has not had any developer input since it was opened and since it is a show stopper for at least myself a one other person. I simply want to ensure that a critical issue is at least known. Please let me know if I can help in any way to resolve the issue.
