Now I realize that I should have warned you: 'git fixes' is already set up for Gitlab. I thought it makes sense since Gitlab is now the official repository. Janitor observes the Launchpad branches, so as long as a commit reaches the Launchpad repository, it *should* work fine. Cheers, Orson O

It might be good to add links to relevant issues (bug/wishlist reports) to the roadmap. Readers would find more details and take part into discussions. Now when the document is in gitlab it's easy to add some and make a merge request. Is it OK if I do that? Eeli Kaikkonen ma 2. jouluk. 2019 klo 2

Hi Ruth, Feedback is always welcome. For V6, I'm trying to keep us on track for the road map items as they stand. Rehashing these goals at the moment would be counter productive but I'm certainly willing to entertain your suggestion once we've released V6. For future reference, please post one
