I didn't see the point in announcing the start of the development stage,
because at first, I only wanted to mirror the ubuntu Xenial repositories in
order to deploy the build envionment needed for trisquel 8.
I found later than, in order for the purge scripts to work as expected, the
new branch for flidas had to be created, so I created it to be able finish
the task without thinking it much.
The lack of communication was my fault, and as a way of ammending the issue,
I just sent a mail to trisquel-devel mailing list. Better late than never :(
About the front page, it is usually managed by Ruben, and... I don't want to
step over anyone toes.
