OK, I'll do my best to do some new stones, items and levels.
First thing I'll commit later is a patch to the automake/autoconf stuff to
(hopefully) properly detect the renamed lua files on debian. I don't want to
install it locally or patch the sources manually any longer.

The last days i did some testing of tWiki. You can use it if you want. It is
installed on my Server at home.

I'll concentrate on creating new ones.

Cool, this will close the one and only bug in debian
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=159075&repeatmerged=yes)

This is what I also plan to do.

YES - hopefully it will be better playable on a remote X display.
