Before this message disappears into the blackhole that my inbox is
turning into, I would like to say that I'm very interested in
experimenting with WiX but I cannot commit to it in the short term. I
am responsible for building other installers for Windows (Plone and
Zope most notably) that would also benefit from WiX so it's definitely
in my plans to come up with something generic and that at least
documentation for producing an installer can be shared across all
those.

That said, if anyone wants to step up for the job I would gladly
support this person and provide feedback.
