Comment 2 for bug 252535

Thanks Brian,

1) I have seen that example (or at least something pretty much the same) before.
It would be quite helpful to have a link to that example, placed somewhere on the Ubuntu Launchpad submission form.
Labeled something like "Example/How to submit a program Request".

2) Does "a task for Launchpad" mean that form Is going to be made? If so, this is going to be fantastic - it will help people get it right, make it easier, and encourage submissions of new programs to Ubuntu's collection.

3) Additional Thoughts for form design;

A useful piece of information to include on the form, would be;
a) a brief intro too the launchpad PPA service for projects, it's build server for compilation to various architectures and confident functioning with Ubuntu, along with translations groups.
b) A link to PPA
c) ask for (not mandatory - but obviously helpful) an email address that Ubuntu can send an automatic email to, to ask the programs project/developers if they would like to sign up to PPA's services.

4) Additional Forms;

If there are any other submission services that work through launchpad in a similar way of using "tags", then the form design for "needs-packaging" tags, could be used as a template for those services also.

This gets a major increase in benefit from just a bit more effort on top of the first job.

5) And it can be used to create More services, in a similar way as time goes on.

Thanks Brian (and the team) for advancing these systems.
