[x] pre-compiled projects are desirable
Check! ;-)

As a CoApp consumer (sys admin in your user story) - do you have a requirement
to build with a specific version of VS, even if it differs from what a project
was originally intended to be built with?
If I would be a user or sysadmin I would hate to build with a VS(200X,20XX),
its a huge thing to compile/build my applications, :S.

Daniel,
Out of interest, why do you stipulate that you want VC9 builds?
With Python, for example, the version of Visual Studio we build with is fixed
for each major version (2.x/3.x). 2.5.x uses VS2005, 2.6.x uses 2008, etc.
One of the reasons we do this is because it allows packages and libraries to
all build and test against a common version (even if it's not the most recent
version of VS; later 2.5.x releases of Python were still being built with
VS2005, even though VS2008 had been readily available for over a year).
As a CoApp consumer (sys admin in your user story) - do you have a requirement
to build with a specific version of VS, even if it differs from what a project
was originally intended to be built with?
And to the CoApp developers: do we want to provide users with the ability to
compile these open source projects from scratch using whatever version compiler
tool chain they want? Perhaps something analogous to FreeBSD ports, which are
built from scratch using whatever compiler you want, versus FreeBSD binary
packages, which are pre-built using whatever the system compiler is at the time.
I think user stories/use cases are going to become increasingly important in
the coming weeks and months ;-) I'll throw my hat into the circle and offer to
be the 'user story collator', unless someone else is dying to do it. A wiki
page dedicated to user stories is a good first step, IMO. Thoughts/objections?
Trent.

I love user stories from anywhere....
Yeah, post them here... eventually they'll end up on their way to somewhere
useful ;D

should we be recording user stories from various dicussions?
As a pain the @$$ developer, michael would like to use coapp to distribute .net
library x
As a site admin nazi, bob would like to use coapp to install a 64 bit build
using VC 9 of apache, ruby, python, 64 bit php on servers "sleepyhollow" and
"middle earth"

Libxslt (for xsltproc) and support for XML packages, especially
Docbook, would be very helpful. There isn't really a good solution on
windows at the moment.
