Brilliant!  I am so glad to have some help.  I am in dire need of
assistants.  Especially assistants with PhDs.

As regarding a shoe repair day, I could use help with two aspects.
The .1st. is simply to get word out that it's going to happen.  Many
Shoes users aren't on this list and only casually use builds here
and there.  Many still use Curious.  So, announcements should
emphasize how to get a recent build and roughly what to expect with
Shoes right now.

The .2nd. is to help discover any of the obvious problems people are
finding so that the bug day isn't held up by fundamental things.
So, if someone replies to an announcement with a complaint about
PowerPC support -- yes, _why is going to have PowerPC support all
ready for the bug day, you'll hear from us soon.

Other obvious problems right now are: DMG output on Windows is
having a problem, the OSX commandline script isn't done and none of
the embedded installer options are ready.

I think announcements about shoes repair day should touch on the
July 31st release.  Although I'm going to be debugging for years,
I'm excited about having a Shoes that works very, very well by
that date and I can't do that in seclusion.
