this is not the point: having a direction board, or having a distributed 
build farms, or having a wiki, or having an open packaging system, and 
so on don't make packages work better too, but they are priority things 
to debate before we continue releasing/updating packages, IMHO.

to your mind, to my mind the more pressing needs are the ones i listed 
in the mail "the real 1st step" of august 11th, and many if you agreed 
about it (you too).
briefly, priorities are the definition of the community, of the rules, 
of the management, of the direction board, of the pkg-fetching tool 
"reference implementation", of the catalog format, of the joining rules, 
and many other things.
later, you can update packages... otherwise, this is blastwave.
