Hi,
I am learning C++ and have hopes of developing a nice C++ app using FTLK
and TinyXML2 to make configuring JWM easy.  I also work on packaging for
a program called LMMS for Ubuntu.  So I could definitely help with
packaging our stuff, and making a PPA.  I can also help someone get set
up (on Ubuntu) to do this kind of work, and give them my bzr cheat
sheet.  Since we are using launchpad, I am assuming we will use bzr,
however if the others in this community prefer git, that is ok (though
not for making Ubuntu PPA's  we'd still have to interact with bzr)

Ali, I think you could probably learn how to build an ISO for ToriOS,
fairly easily if you have the time (which I know you don't).  Someone
else involved in the project could also begin learning this as well, or
a bunch of people could learn it.  I know Melodie must know how to do
it, and she is your friend as well, so you could as her to point you
(us) to some adequate documentation describing how to do it.  I think it
would be good to have multiple people that can work on certain things,
in order for the team as a whole to be able to carry on, even when
someone else loses their internet connection, has a real life crisis, etc..
