Hi Andy,

That's an entirely valid point, and apologies for creating confusion.
To be clear, I wasn't suggesting we use this in public-facing
materials. The Ubuntu Error Tracker components have had the codenames
whoopsie and daisy(.ubuntu.com) since the outset, but we publically
refer to it as the Error Tracker.

I suggested this as an exercise to hopefully get everyone a bit more
excited about the project. If you're just itching to get started
though, we can most certainly go ahead and create an official project
in Launchpad with a bzr repository.

Do note that we should have the month-by-month milestoning done by
this Thursday so we can start creating the core services, their juju
charms, and tests. I've put Siva, Vincent, and Ursula on that this
morning and my hope is that when the rest of you return from holiday
you'll have a good set of plans to build on. I'm itching to dive into
code and see this start to take shape, but I want to get a clear
indication from you guys that we've planned this out as best we can
and everyone has a clear understanding of what needs to be done.

Sound good?
