It could be useful to have someone work on the "infrastructure" side
of things for the B1 release, still. Not the website, but the
package build and upload system to automate the repository management.

Keeping packages up to date in the repository is taking some time,
and is done by Haiku developers. By finishing the work on automating
this, using either buildbot or Kallisti5's haikeuken, we would free
the devs from managing this, increase the number of packages
available in the depot, and identify more problems with the recipes
at haikuports.

None of the Haiku devs are currently working on this and it is one
of the strongest blockers for Beta1.

I don't know if waddlesplash is willing to work on this, however :)
I already stated a few emails ago that I was. :)

That would be really great! You should probably interview Alex, and Oliver to see what exactly should be done, document it, and then work from that.

Bye,
Axel.
