James,

Just a minor point: Address the harvest-client RPM issue for OLPC
builds, if you can. I know AU needs it, but I don't think the others
will. Uninstalling harvest-client.rpm on a machine or three is ok, but
on several will become cumbersome.

It is encouraging to see effort streams coming together.

cheers,
Sameer
