@alan_g: Hi Alan!
I was not referring to canonical or about the near future obviously.
I was asking if that is still considered as a possible option in the long term. for what I understand one of the reasons behind the ubuntu personal was to make possible porting the userland's updates/upgrades without have to touch/know much of the kerneland. the workload ubports has everytime there is a kernel upgrade is evident (eg. the 16.04 is in elaboration for some time and then there will be probably some work to backport new bugfixs and features developed in the 16.04 branch)but in the future this could be mitigated with the ubuntu personal concept. my doubt is only about if that concept is still possible in the future or if ubports thinks it is not useful or feasible. that's all.
I know that before that we need deep changes to what is already there and to develop many things that are not there yet.

what about the canonical plan about "ubuntu personal" (snappy-ubuntu-core+mir+unity8)? is it still a thing?

is there any plan about porting ubuntu touch on lowcost arm boards (eg. like raspberry Pi3) so the developers could test their apps and the system without having to buy a compatible smartphone?

[OT] is there any plan to bring an Ultrafast or Hyperfast Broadband connection to the Marius G.'s home? his lags in the UT Q&A videos are one of the moments that I look forward to ;-)

I would add that the backlog description, so after the review meeting by the experts, should contain indications about the Programming languages and the task difficulty .
also what about adding micro-tasks and some mentoring so to help train some new developer (ala LibreOffice/Document Foundation )?

@flohack hi,

let me know if you need help with the manual merging. I'm not really proficient with github but I really like to be more helpful to the project

@advocatux hi, probably I missed it
spanish (sa) need 1546 strings translation..
the po files are from transifex, but that project is probably a dead branch and will not be convert in po files a second time. I've already give Flohack the po files so you can change them directly from the ubports/unity8 source on github when they will be integrated.
if you what to start the translation now the zip file is here; you can modify the spanish po files and upload them in a PR on github.
;-)

    and many more languages
    probably some subproject is not needed so some more language is ready for use. for example the 7 remaining string in Portuguese (pt) are all in the HUD subproject so actually it's not used

I'm also interested in an italian(it) keyboard...I'm really interested in some documentation/howto about make custom keyboard and Dictionary

@flohack, that is a very interesting solution! thank you!

@flohack but when is the id sent? any random time? only at first ubport device start? on server request?

@flohack do you think there are many upborts device without push services?
however how does the id system work?
