I wanted to make a general comment of thanks for this project. The community SSU brought an easy way to install rotation support, and I've come to use portrait mode more than I expected. Now, any time I have a list of items or a portrait-shaped image on a web site or an Internet article with a thin column of text, I switch to portrait mode. I like using mobile versions of web sites, and many of them use screen space most efficiently in portrait mode. I've even been using programs like Canola (b/c of the list of artists or albums), gPodder (b/c of the list of subscriptions) and Panucci (b/c of the playlist) in portrait mode.

I also wanted to raise the profile of this issue:

Basically, the A-GPS program is referring to a defunct server. It would be nice if the community SSU could point it to a non-defunct server. I realize that not everyone might agree on which server to use, but would it be appropriate for the community SSU to provide a default solution for those who don't care?
