     * [Action] Allison to create https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Review/Responses
 * Applications submitted that aren't 'useful'
   * Discussion of what guidelines we should use for rejecting applications summarised on http://pad.ubuntu.com/arb-guidelines
     *Submissions should be applications, not stand-alone documentation or media (image bundles, fonts, movies).
     *Apps should not be forks of existing applications in the Ubuntu archive (main/universe/etc).
     *Apps must be useful or interesting to a general audience.
     *The process only applies to a specific version of an application (e.g. PyJunior 1.0 or PyJunior 1.2).
     *No other software can depend on the application being submitted (e.g. development libraries should be submitted to main/universe or upstream to Debian instead).
     * Applications must be Free/Libre/Open Source software. We follow the Ubuntu Licensing Policy [http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-ulp].
     * When an application is approved as part of this process, Ubuntu developers may make changes or improvements to a package before it is uploaded to the archive or after it is in the archive.
     * Applications must be able to be built with tools & libraries in the Ubuntu archive. Apps may bundle additional libraries they depend on, but may not include new versions of already packaged libraries.

 * Backports & ARB submissions
   * ARB applications should be able to depend on backported libraries
   * [ACTION] Andrew to ask about technical limitations of ARB apps depending on backported packages
