Ubuntu Request Tracker

Have you had the unfortunate need of having to contact the Request Tracker (rt@ubuntu.com)? If you have, you probably know what I mean when I say it can be a very frustrating thing to do.

When I started the ubuntu-cell mailing list, it took about 2 months to get a reply (not get it done, just a reply). Now, with the need of hosting for the PS3 Port, I’m pretty sure it won’t take any less time. 1 month and 6 days … And counting!

Seriously, does anyone else besides me thinks this is absurd?

Planet Ubuntu content

There has been quite a few posts about the type of content fetched by Planet Ubuntu. Some say the content should only be related to Ubuntu, while others support the idea of having personal, not related to Ubuntu, posts.

Suggestion …

Using Gentoo.org as example:

Planet Gentoo is limited to Gentoo-related posts. The author uses a tag or category. Then theres the Gentoo Universe, which is also written by Gentoo developers and collaborators but who is not limited to Gentoo-related articles.

Creating an Ubuntu Universe would result in duplicate content, but I believe it’s the easiest and more efficient way of separating content. Everyone wins.
