Shouldn't these release messages for 3.0 alphas redirect to mailman-developers?

Please note that this is an alpha release and as such is not ready for
production use.You can get the code from the Cheeseshop:
And do what with it? Check it in to a git repo, right? I mean, you did say you were looking forward to content contributions! ;-)
So, let's be modern and check it out from Launchpad.
Problems:
(1) Debian stable doesn't have Python2.6. *sigh* (Not your fault, but it's now 0237, and I'm in a bitchin' mood and even Pure Prairie League doesn't make me feel better.)
(2) README.txt refers to a bunch of files in docs/readme/ that don't exist (including the directory itself). If you're planning to reorganize the docs directory, now might be as good a time as any to fix the README. If you plan to populate it instead, you could add a note that volunteers to write the as yet nonexistent docs would be welcome.
(3) docs/ALPHA.txt says you need an unofficial branch of lazr.config ... which doesn't seem to exist:
$ bzr branch lp:~barry/lazr.config/megamerge
You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~barry/lazr.config/megamerge/ is permanently redirected to
https+urllib://bazaar.launchpad.net/~barry/lazr.config/megamerge/
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~barry/lazr.config/megamerge/".
Oh, OK, it's private data or something. OK, so we try telling bzr
about our LP ID and try again:
$ bzr branch lp:~barry/lazr.config/megamerge

bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check
connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. *sigh* I guess I'll just be a good little boy and get the PyPI package, but ... nah, I'll just go to bed and when I wake up I'll discover it was all a bad dream, right?
