David Ford kindly set up a development machine for use during the
hackfest last month (it's a virtual machine). It's still running and
he's asked me whether it's still needed.
Do people think that a development system would be generally useful to
keep around - ie are there people who would be more inclined to hack on
OpenGuides if they had login access to a system which could run it
without too much hassle?
I'm not making any long-term promises, but if people reply either way I
can at least gauge usefulness of having such a system.
Cheers,
Dominic.

I think it is useful for a number of reasons
- OG needs quite a tranche of modules. This puts off people like
myself who have an allergy to installing modules (**)
- sometimes you might have work in progress you want to share with
another developer. Being able to say "have a look at
/home/andrew/blah/blah and see if you can see......" is easier than
having to email or whatever your half fished changes.
- it might be useful to have a development set up with some realistic
data from which you can clone your own set up.
** I have failed to install Perl modules too many times in past.
