No problem.

It wouldn't be that hard, but I have a fairly slow connection, and so I don't 
want to create a new dmg for every new release of Sage (at least not every 
alpha/rc release).  Also it wouldn't have any modifications people have made to 
their copy of sage, I don't know if my binary works on 10.5, the application 
itself is kind of crappy at this stage, etc.  If people were interested I could 
do it though.

I'm interested in any feedback you have about what features it needs, if you 
prefer it to the other application that comes bundled with sage, and what the 
best way to distribute it would be.

If people think this avenue is worth pursuing, I will probably fork fluidium on 
github so anyone can work on it.  However it is (barely) sufficient for my 
needs at the moment, so I probably won't do much more work on it unless others 
want something more.
