Samuel, You are basically echoing what me and martin have been talking about as well. That is the direction we are definitely planning to go. It doesn't mean we wont be doing any tools work. There are many incremental features that we would like to add, but it does mean building a rock solid repository with a very good packaging spec. Thats our goal right now and probably what we will talk about in this first call.
We have a few ideas floating around for doing that, we will probably talk about it a bit on thursday. In any case, you are absolutely right that is where our focus must, must, must be.
