Issue Notification Service

Registered by Gabriel Bauman

The Issue Notification Service allows Ubuntu maintainers to push "issue tests" - small bits of code that check a user's system for a given situation - out to user desktops using a web service. When the issue tests run on a system that meets their internal criteria, they use notification-daemon to display a message describing the situation to the user, and linking to a web page with further information and/or recommended fixes. Statistics on affected users are returned to the web service in an anonymous form. For example, a user installs a non-free video driver; an 'issue test' scriptlet detects this; the user receives a notification informing them of the problems associated with non-free drivers, and is offered a link to a Wiki page with more information; the 'installed non-free driver' stat is incremented back at the web server. This specification could supersede binary-driver-education at some point in the future.
