Hi Cameron,
This is exciting news!  I have some build scripts for building the ISO,
the ones I am currently hosting on Github are not entirely up to date. 
However, something that would be really nice is building PowerPC (32 bit
mainly) packages.  I don't know what type of processor you have at your
disposal, but any type of testing would be great!  There is a very low
overhead when using ToriOS, and very minimal packages included, so it is
very simple to customize, and there are not many things to have to
remove if you like a different applications base.

Most of our code is hosted on launchpad (OBI, jwm-settings-manager, the
newer version of JWM, sdesk, etc...)  so if there is a specific program
you are interested in building you can search launchpad for it, or
simply ask here.

We also have a developers list, if you want to join that or post there
as well.

Thanks!
