You might consider posting a "TODO:" webpage or CVS file. That way any
curious passers-by who look at the webpage (but not join the list) might see
tasks they can do. I do not know installer scripts myself and my current
priority is learning more Perl/Python (I'm unemployed).

If no one improves the installer some months down the road, I'll look at the
installer.

That sounds perfect to me. I'll upgrade to 0.2; hopefully I can provide some
good testing feedback.

The thing that really has me excited about this is the fallback all the way
to text- or curses- mode. Brewnix (brewnix.sf.net) has *two* independent
GUI's that are incomplete and lack feature parity. What's worse is those
efforts have stalled due to life's unexpected problems, and the authors are
no longer available for help.

Having a single, abstract API for UI - still with text support -  is a
fantastic goal (...and one that I wish the GNOME/KDE projects considered
more).
