Re: some try-ark suggestions

   There should be some stuff in the ark-dev archive about this - Harlen 
   went through similar pains as I recall. It's something to do with 
   different versions of Python and PyXML.

Jonathan:

Ugh.  Not good.  You mean to say that in addition to keeping abreast of
Arusha-specific bugs and problems, I also have to worry about Python-PyXML
interactions and version incompatibilities?  (I trust the Mandrake folks
to do this right.  Not having to deal with these issues is one of the
reasons I don't roll my own Linux distro and instead rely on perhaps the
most user friendly Linux distribution on the market today.)

I think The Project should shy away from using the latest and greatest--but
not yet stabilized--Python and PyXML stuff, and base development on stuff
that's been around for a while and has withstood the test of time.

BTW, you guys should take all this in the spirit with which it's intended--
not to carp, but to help.  That is, this is all constructive criticism, I
hope.
