I agree that installation is an important part of software
development. Ideally, this would be an ABC *users* mailing list, and
there would be another list for developers. Right now, I think most
of the people on this list are in fact either developers in some sense
or at least highly interested in contributing to the development
process, so it probably isn't as off topic as it ought to be.
If anyone does ever want to get back to a developers/users split, I've
set up an abc-discuss list at the sourceforge home page
(https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=6137) that could be used for
one of them.
