Just throwing ideas into the air here, but how about setting up a public
CVS (or similar revision control system) repository for development of
Albatross-based toolkits?

Object Craft could maintain the "Albatross" branch, which would have a
conservative release policy. The "SnakeSkin" branch, while not being
labeled as a development or unstable branch, would allow new features to
enter more quickly and would have a rapid release cycle. Any number of
development branches could exist for experiments and testing.

Would it be possible for Object Craft, Mediapulse and the Open Source
community (Debian in particular) to collaborate in this way?
