I would like to try to make it so that people don't need to be 
sudoers for most everyday tasks. I am currently working on setting
up the VM for projects to migrate to in a sane way without needing 
to have sudo access for every task. As a result, I'd like for 
projects to hold off on migrating to the projects VM until 
after this weekend, if possible; if I don't get stuff done,
we can go ahead and work without this, but I'd like to take a
crack at this first.
