Hi guys (or so I blindly assumed -- oops?)

This message was posted to the Midgard mailing list, and I thought it
may
be of interest to some of you.

Thanks in advance,

Getting Midgard installed correctly is still by far the commonest
problem heard on Midgard's mailing list. While improving the
documentation and making the installation processes better helps, the
truth is that Midgard requires many different components, most of whom
are coming from other Open Source projects, and so the installation
will still be difficult for new users. We are organizing a group
of volunteers to help newcomers through the installation and collect
feedback to improve both the installation process and documentation.

This message is both a call for volunteers who have succesfully
installed Midgard before and want to help others to get there, and
an announcement that the installation help is now available.
