Thanks Steven,

It has taken me a while to pull this together.

Based on feedback from you and others, it looks like the best way a
Sugar Labs SIG/Project can help the ecosystem is to work with you to
create frequent 'upstream' releases for the XO and then gather high
quality feedback by engaging testers.

Would you be willing to lead me through the process of creating builds
so that I can document your procedures in order to make it easier for
other to become involved?

So far we have buy in from the olpc contributors program in the form
of developer machines.
