Yep, the more binary packages available, the better.

I don't know about this. If somebody volunteers, that's fine. I think
the best way is to simply add them to SF when people contribute them
(the way we do now). As SuperTux gains popularity, these packages will
be contributed a lot earlier (like at the same time as the initial
release0.

Well, the simple reason for that is that we don't really use the SF
project site. For news go to http://super-tux.sf.net/. Feature
requests/bugs/support requests can be sent to
sup...@li... (SuperTux isn't really big enough to need
to use a bug/feature tracker/support requests). And this *is* the
public forum :) And besides, people can see that the latest release
was at the beginning of may, easy to see that the project is still in
development.
