Hello!

First of all, you may wonder why Kevin is writing this =). There was a slight 
debate about packaging effort off list (on the #kalyxo channel on freenode 
IRC network). The outcome was, that we (Christoffer Sawicki and myself) kind 
of appointed Kevin as a packaging coordinator. At least for two of us, but 
volunteers are welcome. I guess this work has to be done and Kevin agreed to 
do it. We are not trying to force this on anyone, just trying to be helpful 
and get the work done. If you have some problem with it, feel free to contact 
me (possibly on-list). Please, try to restrain from attacking Kevin though. 
Thanks. Discussion is however welcome =).

Yes, it is.

now, this is going to be much more problematic... volunteers? :)

i suppose that's typo, qtgtk... needs some investigation as well, might be 
problematic to utilize (may need recompiling gtk apss, i should double-check 
though...)

Yes, we should get a wiki installed. There are some in Debian. Anyone familiar 
with some of it? I guess i'll ask DanielS to install it for us...

Yes. I don't know of any DD among us though. I have applied, but the NM 
process may take quite long, so... If noone will do this, i  volunteer to do 
it as soon as i become a DD.
