Bugs can be reported here: http://bugs.launchpad.net/do Please search
for your problem before posting a bug to be sure that you don't create

When you get the alpha up and running, please reply to this thread
with a nice screenshot :) We'd like confirmation that it works (and
we'd like to see how well it works).

Thank you,
David
