Subject: Re: [dyne:bolic] d:b-development
Let us ask how was the project maintained till now and go on that root ,
Let us not ruin good method's.
I am a video editor love testing new video editing software,I would like to
contribute
by writing documents so people can learn how to make a fully fetured film .
It would be cool to have an automating installer where you could create a
clone out of dynebolic with your own software ionstead of dragging things
around and compiling all day long.
