[Python-apps-team] Bug#663151: RFS: rhinote/0.7.4-2 -- virtual sticky-notes for your desktop

[Andrea Bolognani]

Hi everybody,

this is just to remind you that Rhinote is still looking for a sponsor.

As the changes for this revision are mostly patches to the software itself,
which is written in Python, I'm CCing the python-apps Team hoping that
someone will consider picking it up.

Cheers.
