Neat. I really liked Ubuntu One. However, if they seek to receive contributions I think GitHub would give them more exposure than launchpad, from what I can tell the history is not preserved (probably with good reasons) so the switch from bazaar would not have been painful.

- toyg 11y ago> if they seek to receive contributions They don't. This is a code dump for a dead project. From the FAQ: "Will you take patches?" In general, no. We won’t have anybody assigned to reviewing and accepting code. We’d encourage interested maintainers to fork the code [...]
- flowerpot 11y agoI've missed that, thanks! Then it totally makes sense since it's their own platform.
