Hi, Thanks for taking this over, I wrote the first version of the site almost ten years ago now and am quite amazed it's still being used despite people complaining about it for about as long as it existed (but nobody coming with anything better either) :) About the API, one request I would have is to make sure to update any script used in production by the Ubuntu project ahead of making any backward-incompatible API change. Those scripts are in lp:ubuntu-archive or in the cdimage branches and are responsible for auto-posting images to the tracker, triggering builds upon request and doing the image publishing for milestones. We don't exercise all of those daily so it can be weeks/months before we notice a breakage and having to fix things in a rush as we are trying to push a milestone out the door isn't much fun.
