If you like a forum, you can go to here:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel
You can also post messages there.

I am not sure what you exactly need. I don't use the administration
module. You can live without it ;-)

First development platform is Debian. There are packages for Ubuntu, but
not everything is supported there.

We would like it if comebody would make Ubuntu-packages, but the point
is that Ubuntu makes many releases. It would cost much time.

The point for me not using Ubuntu on a server is that it does not give
security support on many packages. Try this command and you will see you
are using many packages without security-support:

aptitude search '?and(~s universe,~i)'

You can search this list on many pleases, e.g. here:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel

You can follow the list by mail, usenet news, as 4 kinds of rss-feeds,
as a forum and blog-like....

You too ;-)

If you don't like mailinglists, try Gmane. Works very nice.
