I've written a draft press release for the start of our LiveDVD
process, which I hope we can put out on Thursday 10 June.<br>
Before putting out the release, I hope we can do the following:<br>
* Get the latest version of the website working (Alex is working on
this)<br>
* Get a draft of a Quick Start template. (On my todo)<br>
* Ideally build 4.0alpha2 with sun-java6 installed, and make available
for projects to try. (I can build this tomorrow, if someone can fix
the java install script, and another other scripts)<br>
<br>
Bonus tasks:<br>
* remove reference to arramagong in install scripts<br>
