Hey guys, I've been lurking around LFS in the shadows for quite some time, and only just recently stumbled across the automated LFS project. I was wondering what the status of this project is, and if there is anything I can contribute to. I'm familiar with C, C++, Python, Lua, Java, etc as well as libraries such as Gtk, Qt, and wxWidgets. I'm also fairly comfortable with the low level administration of the linux system. From what I read on the FAQ it seems like the new ALFS system is supposed to have a backend, and a modular front end (could be a console, GUI, etc). I am getting tired of these RPM/DEB distros (and even gentoo) and think the concept of ALFS would be a great was to bring LFS into a more usable state. I would see ALFS both as a way for less technical people to build a desktop system, as well as a way for technical people to build the foundation for their own linux based distro or operating environment.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling -- I just wanted to say hi to everyone and give my thoughts. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.
