Everyone is working together to make the best status page they can for a
laptop, regardless of where the hardware came from.  More updates mean a
better report.

Jonathan was wanting to update the D810 wiki-page as was delayed by seeing
your request to be contacted first.

It is possibly to be automatically emailed when *any* update happens and
this is done with the "Subscribe" feature.  You will receive a 'diff'
showing you exactly what was changed and then you can go and work out how t=
o
better combine this with the status report already there (if required).

This is something you'll need to work out the person who attempted to email
you and got the bounce;  It is logical to assume that if somebody has a
bouncing email address that they receipient maybe "uncontactable" or
"missing in action" and the best they can do then is report it;  either via
the wiki or to a mailing-list.

In this case, that seems to have worked perfectly!  You've bounced up and
said "I'm here", "I'm working on Flight 4" and discovered somebody else who
is also testing the same hardware and who you can work closely with in
future to keep the report up to date at an even faster pace.

Ideally everything should be kept together;  95% of the information is the
same---in this case the physical hardware and even the hotkey mappings are
the same as they are part of the core low-level Ubuntu system.

The only things that are different at the moment are whether hotkeys
actually perform the action they should be doing and pop up the appropriate
box on the screen.

Please keep the information together, with a little sub-section about
anything that is different under Kubuntu in the comments section at the
bottom of the page.

Hope that helps and please help each other to keep testing!
