I applaud everything done here :-) Ideally, I would like to see that I can run this on a PowerMac (G5) on MacOS 10.5. If all else fails, I'll try to run it on the Ubuntu box I have at home (but I need more RAM than the 128Mb it currently has), of install stuff on it. The reason I asked for this, was to have the 'one true dev. environment', where 'we' could easily jump in and help the OM developers! It would save tons of time if _one_ person did this, instead of everyone on the mailing list...
