Thanks Free! Is there anything we need to add to our package to let
people know about the location of this debian package? This is quite
newsworthy!

Also, is there any technical infrastructure we need to add to our
package to make debian packaging easy?

Would you and/or anyone else like to add packaging for other distros?

Alexandre, this is quite newsworthy, right! Can you help us spread the
news about this?

I guess we should gear up and do a release with full on press. Alexandre
and others, what version number should we bump to? We could do a release
and also launch the creat logo compeition with end-date of LGM, so we
can pick a logo for the project, right?

Thoughts?

Jon
