Yeah, you missed the boat by around, oh, A YEAR.  We already had gads of
requirements discussions, we pounded out our plan ahead of time, now we
(non-inclusive) are developing.

Well then, sounds like you don't need an installer, why haven't you
pissed off yet?

Oh I "recognize" the focus here, the focus is that you are being a
contemptible obsequious little prick trying to tell people actually
working on things how to work on things while you do nothing.  You want
to "integrate" as a developer/volunteer/contributor?  Do it, no one is
stopping you, submit code, WORK on the project, don't just talk about
it, if all the world ever did was talk we'd be out of oxygen by now.
