Hi everyone,
I am working on the user management stuff right now.
there is a new Bash program for adding users that I am making... but I
won't let anyone use it until it has been tested thoroughly on my VM :)

I need to work on the locale chooser, but I don't have a great keyboard
layout modifier program... does anyone have one to suggest???  That is
one of the last parts of that program that need to be finised... setting
the keyboard from the terminal doesn't persist in the way it should 
using setxkbmap I'd like a nice visual program so users can choose their
layout easily, and make sure it is what they want...

These are some of the last bits of the puzzle to getting a decent Alpha
version, that may lead us into Beta.

Other things we need to consider:

HTML ToriOS manual (we discussed this on Saturday)  this has the
advantage of being used in a web-browser so all links will open
coherently in the same application.

PACKAGING all the ToriOS stuff...
seriously this would be nice, but I have a lot of other stuff going on
right now :)

Any major programs we need?

And, I know I need to make a little zenity dialog for the screenshot so
the user knows something happened :)  But that is really simple to do,
really....  It could be something simple like

times_png=${HOME}/$(date -I).png
import -window root $times_png
zenity --info --text="Screenshot saved to: ${times_png}"

Which just shows a dialog that tells the user where the screenie is saved :)
(try it out if you have zenity and imagemagick  these lines will work on
any Tori you are running)
