This isn't just you, packaging SBT is a difficult task, even for an experienced developer. Maybe you'll be able to help more easily if Frederic manages to bootstrap the first version of the sbt package. > The way I see it, it would be most effective if we made a clear list of > things to do, splitted it into small tasks, and then a few of us got > together online (e.g., IRC) and worked on this for a couple of hours.

I don't have enough free time to work on packaging Scala libraries, but I'll be happy to chime in and share some advices when possible. Emmanuel Bourg
