Hi Nio,
Honestly I have been too busy with work and family do do much of
anything this week.  I did get a programming session in earlier this week.
I have not had much time to test much of anything except the programs I
work on, and that has been fairly limited as well.
Just enough testing to find/fix the OnlyShowIn Unity issue with the
menus (not major but still a nice fix).  And to fix some issues with
window group configuration and fix a longstanding bug with themes.  But
those were fairly easy fixes, and did not take much time.

I would like to upgrade to Wily soon so I can begin testing ToriOS
components in Wily so I can have an idea of what to focus on for Xenial.
I have found some issues in OBI related to Trusty, that are minor, but
still needed fixes (user-config autologin)

I will try to get back into things soon.  I will be rebuilding the ISO
again to test and I hope OBI is good enough to have your stamp of approval.

I think mkusb really needs to be translatable in order to get into the
Debian repos.  So If you get a chance to work on that please do, if you
need help ask.  You know that I have had some experience with starting
the work.  I think that should be the goal for mkusb 10.5 (or even 11.0)
