New stuff:

If you would like me to merge you, please send me a formal request on  
launchpad.  It'll be easier to keep track of as I have been gone for a  
week.  Also, I see Pete's been added to LCSEE mirror keys -- I thought  
we were going to limit access to that to ensure things made it into  
test cleanly?  May not be the case.  Also, what are thoughts on making  
a PPA for loud-platform that would have global access to the group  
instead of the current way things work.

In response to Kro:

Absolutely -- the important thing to note is that we have the desktop  
and any essentials needed to run the environment in a lab at WVU.   
That's not the specific nature of this list, though, which is  
correct.  On the linked wiki -- you can see the current LOUD (only)  
package listing and little projects and wants that I think would be  
neat mini additions.  More projects will ensue -- we should define  
what we want and what we need soon... yeah.

Still looking for a more open way to maintain a list like that --  
Ubuntu wiki seems okay though, all you've gotta do is sign up?

In response to Pete:

I've made no progress on this other than to source the usplash package  
and make a new splash image, which I'm not all that pleased with.
