I don't think that Ubuntu would let you fill the role without a mentor anyway. I imagine more important than knowledge is (a) finding an Ubuntu member willing to act as a mentor; and (b) having the enough time to commit to working with Ubuntu over a period of time etc. But I think getting the PPA is a step in the right direction either way. In addition to the advantage of having a PPA, making a PPA would get you some skill as well as a pinch of respect in talking to Ubuntu, if that's ultimately what you decide to do. > I do not think that a ppa can be considered an "extremistic" solution, as it I think asking Ubuntu to drop LyX from their official repos, was the "extremistic" part of that solution, not the creation of a PPA. -- John C.
