That and a build zone would automate the build process.  However, we
are not quite ready for that.  I'd like to build and publish a few
more packages first.  I'd also like to produce another ISO.  I need a
few more successful or unsuccessful install reports before I do that.

It looks as if I'll be the coordinator.

What we really need right now is remote access to the package
repository.  I believe that pkg.depotd will do that, but I've never
tried it.
