1. AMS had made a GNU release. We can try it and test it to good use. We can fix broken things in it, and enhance it.
+ * The snapshot is very old. Probably better to build something from current stuff, even if it means more work
2. GNU is all about freedom AND ease of use. So, given installers are by nature quite complex, how should we install GNU on users's computers? I think ams's GNU System Creator comes into play here, maybe ams or sdschulze could (re-)write specifications of GSC.
3. Until we have an installer ready, we could go the Gentoo-like route, and have every part manually installed. A good installation documentation may help. Our next milestone may be just this (in case ams hasn't already done it):
* have a good installation document out, with all the required packages hosted at gnu.org or savannah.org
* get stowfs working
-4. Move on, start coding, documenting, packaging.
+4. Maybe try to use hacked Debian packages until we get native ones?
