"Send to Flickr" call for testers

Update: Thanks for your help, everybody. No more testers needed. I'll be releasing it soon.

Over the weekend I created a photo uploader for Linux, specifically for Gnome desktop users:

I’m looking for some people who can install and try the package out before I release it publicly. Ideally I’d like several people to run the installer (a .deb package) and make sure it does all the right things. I’m targeting Ubuntu but (in theory) the .deb should work on any Debian system and a tarball is also available. A mix of technical and non-technical users would be nice. Please only respond if you are able to spend some time using the app and share feedback with me via email. Contact me if you’re interested.
