MOTU, REVU & NOCLUE

I've been thinking about trying to get my PPA packages included in the Ubuntu Universe repositories. To this end, I've started researching the MOTU process. Daniel Holbach was kind enough to leave me a link to the correct page on the Ubuntu wiki [UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages] for my new gimp-brushes package. Christer Edwards and Jorge O. Castro have also been supportive and encouraging over email — thank you :)

Inspired by the encouragement, I've managed to read through the information and yesterday I uploaded my first package to REVU. I'm now waiting for the fallout reviewers to comment and hopefully provide some guidance/constructive criticism.

So anyway, on the slim chance that any of the MOTU team read this, please take a look at my first REVU package. And remember, go easy on me, I'm a noob at this packaging lark.
