Scott, good point... perhaps something like the new help links on the PPA pages? (see https://edge.launchpad.net/~cprov/+archive/ppa)

Martin, thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts with a branch... very helpful. So my thoughts:

+1 for the wording changes.

I think the tweaks to the wording that you've made are all good decisions.

+0 for linkifying the owners

I think this looks better, but thought that during our pre-imp. we had decided against linking anything more than the PPA as all the other information is on the PPA. That said, I can imagine wanting to know who the owner is *before* I click on their PPA.

-0 for the repeated small PPA icons rather than the single PPA branding

IMO, the small PPA icons help to differentiate a list of mixed information (ie. on a persons profile page where PPAs, bugs and blueprints are all displayed in the same area etc.). I thought the single larger icon identified the whole block of information as PPA related.

-0 for not bringing the information "off the page" somehow (border or background)

I realise that the border colours/background that I used might leave it looking too similar to an informational message/error message, but I do think that something similar needs to be done. As it is in your mockup, it looks to me like it is information *about* the context of the page, rather than additional related information that is not about the context of the page. I thought that was the main concern of Scott's that we were trying to address.

As it is, it seems Edge hasn't been updated (it's still on r8720), so there's still time to update my changes before they hit Edge :)
