Hello Jeremy, and thanks for your interest in replicatorg packaging,

In replicatorg, at least until version 24, there was a "twitter bot"
plugin which could be used for the machine to tweet what it has
printed... I'm not sure if it's still available as I haven't followed
ReplicatorG development lately. My latest gut feeling was to patch it
out, seeing the problems with the twitter module.

The only problem I see for packaging replicatorg and see it accepted in
Debian is the number of "embedded" copies of skeinforge (I already
expunged avrdude without a hiccup, and the java libraries are
available).

I intended for the replicatorg source package to build a binary package
for each version of skeinforge embedded, each of them providing a common
"skeinforge" virtual package on which the "replicatorg" binary package
would depend.

I've been swamped by work lately, and didn't have time to use a MakerBot
since september (yay PhD). Fortunately, my workload is tapering off and
I'd be glad to have someone co-maintain the package! I'll clean up what
I have right now to push it to collab-maint so you can take a look.

(Oh, yeah, that'll have to wait for alioth to come back up too :) I'll
ping you when it's ready)

Cheers,
