We will be using catalyst 2.0 (or better).

Learn catalyst intricately.  The main problems that we have are
ebuild-related, so a very strong working knowledge of ebuilds are a
must, along with the ability to troubleshoot and patch python and bash
for catalyst/genkernel.  For this release, there won't be enough time.
While testing is a major part of release-building, it is also the
easiest.

Not so much...  I have had quite a few volunteers for testers and even
some build volunteers, but nobody so far to make sure stuff works
*before* we get into the release.

Want to help out?  Make sure all of the base system works on every
architecture you can get your hands on from a bootstrap.  Make sure the
same works from a 2005.1 (or 2005.1-r1) stage3 to build a stage1
tarball.  Those two places are where we hit the majority of our bugs
during a release.
