2- The "changes, work to do" part:

I am all for this. For 0.7 I think it would be fine if we tell users how
they can use Cheeseshop and easy install to get those. For 0.8 and
beyond I would like to see a menu item that would do this automatically,
a la Firefox.
Agreed, some sort of integration into the UI would be great. 0.8 (aka
our second "Preview" release) might be the right time for this. I
suspect 0.8 will be the right time to start putting more emphasis on
supporting plugin parcels, but more about that later. ;)
I would also go further and strip everything that is not strictly needed
to run Chandler (tests, tools, etc.). This would save almost 4 megs of
download size on Windows, probably more on OS X and Linux.
I have an old bug to move test code to its own parcel (Bug 4617).
Perhaps the updated version of this is to move test code to its own egg,
so that we have this option. I'd be psyched to tackle this for alpha5
(its been a long time since I've committed anything!).
Cheers,
Katie
