Oh, you can absolutely help with packaging. It is mostly updating the 
when the Sucrose (Sugar and activities) releases are out. Instructions 
can be found at:

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/master/docs/release_howto.txt

We can try this out directly by the end of the week - we will have a new 
Sucrose release on Friday ;) Request permissions (instructions in the 
link above) for the packages you want to package and start packaging 
when the tarballs are available.

For direct questions and issues you can catch me as well on irc 
(#sugar), my nick is 'erikos'.

Thanks for stepping up,
