I just got this very justified bug report. The entire install procedure really needs overhauling. Can I have a volunteer to spearhead this, please? If I don't get one within a week then I'll ask around more widely. Please don't volunteer unless you are committed to producing some real changes within, say, two weeks of starting. I'm feeling the need to expand the team anyway since the workload does seem to be getting greater than we can manage in a reasonable timeframe. I am feeling the burden falling quite heavily on me, and this is meant to be a team effort.

(I'm not actually sure why this file exists at all; surely we should be using the relevant wiki.conf anyway? storing configuration data in a perl module strikes me as exceedingly horrid) ----- End forwarded message -----
