I think we should start with setting up a wanna-build server like the
m68k folks have. You tell it you're going to compile a package, and it 
tells you if somebody else has already taken it, or if it failed last
time etc. I often look for a package, see it isn't compiled yet and
don't know if nobody has tried, or if it doesn't work, or if somebody
already has a version in incoming etc.

For this we would need a computer with reliable internet
connection. The package is really nice and well documented, so it
shouldn't be too hard to set it up. Any volunteers?

You can get wanna-build and also the build demon with

cvs -d :pserver:anon@cvs.linux-m68k.org:/CVS login
[empty password]
cvs -d :pserver:anon@cvs.linux-m68k.org:/CVS checkout wanna-build
