Done (in my svn copy, not yet committed). [ By the way, personal mail would
have worked too. ]

Funnily enough I made the same comment to ess-core when they failed to
mention / add Julia in the first section of their FAQ on 'what is ess'.

I knew :)  I already re-tweeted Viral's post about this. Thanks for doing
that.  Will you be adding a ppa too?  I also tend to run a bunch of Ubuntu
instances. 

Amicalement,  Dirk
