Hi, I've been lurking on the list for a while now and just thought I'd jump
in for a second.  As a user I would love to see a 2.0 beta release and agree
this would help get people excited at the Desktop Summit for sure.  However
I'd just like to suggest that if you do this you make sure to provide
updated packages for major linux distros so people can immediately and
easily install/upgrade to try it out.  Also, in general, it'd be great if
you could provide clear upgrade instructions on the wiki somewhere for
people who want to use a newer release than what is in their distro software
repos.  Currently the wiki only has installation instructions for people
starting from scratch meaning that anyone using Kubuntu (not sure about
other distros) is likely still using 1.1.

Thanks, and looking forward to checking out v2.0 :)  Btw, if you need help
with any non-coding related tasks let me know and I'd be happy to help where
possible.

-Justin
