Also, Unless someone is working on it already, I would like to try and build packages of the next release for debian. I've never done it before (not publicly anyway) so I don't know what it really involves (and I would welcome help too) but it would certainly help my own use of sheepdog. I agree that there is so much more to sheepdog than the website indicates. Perhaps we could pool efforts together to make better documentation (especially for newcomers) and introduce a sheepdog-discuss list too for the non-developer audience? - just my thoughts as a user/observer. On an unrelated note, I noticed this yesterday which claims ElasticHosts have been using sheepdog in production for some time: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/03/elastichosts_managed_services_cloud/ Matt.
