[Systers-dev] - Development Image

[Gloria W]

I can help on Sunday eve, after 8PM GMT-4 (after my kids finish dinner).
There is something called fakemail, which intercepts outgoing mail and 
dumps them in text files:

This makes testing so much easier.

> You can read about Virtual Box here:  http://www.virtualbox.org/

> 1 - Install Virtual Box (it's cross-platform and works on most OS's)
> 2- Create an image with everything working for MM and Systers.
> 3- Save the image as a .vdi
> 4- Anyone with Virtual Box installed can just load the .vdi

> found the time to fix.  Let me see if I can find a copy and put it somewhere
> for you to download -- if you'd like to try.

> Alternatively, if you want to get together on irc -- say Sunday evening we
> can work together on getting the image put together.
>
> Anyone else have any suggestions, time to work on the image with Kanika
