Bug Description

I've been looking for the Nanny Central Repository to use the parental control application in Ubuntu but I cannot find it.

This is not something that a new user can find easily huh?

Check this question @AskUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44487/wheres-the-gnome-nanny-blacklist-repo

This was totally different from Maverick and because of this the software could receive bad reviews in the Software Center, and most because this is not documented on the help of the program and neither on the Gnome Nanny website.

Any help will be really appreciated.

I do not know if that is what you are looking for.

No that's not what I am looking for :( The problem with Gnome Nanny is that it's dead as hell, if you take a look on this screenshot you will see what I am talking about: img195.imageshack.us/i/nannyr.png

I am really trying to get this program to work, before on Ubuntu 10.10 worked fine by downloading the blacklist file from the Gnome website but it was slowing down a lot my computer so I had to remove it and waited for 11.04 to see if any change was made to make it usable.

Thank you anyway, but this bug may affect a lot of people looking for a parental control utility in Ubuntu :(

Correct URL of NannyCentral Repository is http://static.nannycentral.org/v/nannycentral/blacklists/blacklist.json
I think active Nanny users should unite and periodically update (add new blacklisted sites) NannyCentral Repository.
We need community-driven NannyCentral Repository!
