For the web based installer why re-invent the wheel? Joomala has a very modular installer that could be plugged in here (i know, i've done it before for other php projects :)

I haven't looked at it. The Web-based installer I checked in is really, really simple, and I'm hesitant to use a complex installation framework. But I'll take a look at Joomla's.

Do many other php projects have rpm based installers?

I don't know about "many", but there are RPMs for MediaWiki and WordPress. Those are the ones that Ken & co. used as models for the Laconica RPM.

This begs the question where's .deb or .mydistro installers?

I started a project on alioth.debian.org for the Debian installer. It's a big priority, but we haven't got a lot of traction on it.

Getting installers for lots of platforms is important. I think also getting into ISP maintenance panels like Plesk and CPanel would be good, too.

I've only been working with laconica for a few days but I think a great next step would be to have a bugfest or similar where the main devs and others try to squash as many open bugs in trac as they can in one day (i'd be willing to help :)

Gee, you mean, some kind of hackfest...? GREAT IDEA!

Seriously, this was a very successful event, and I'd like to do another very soon -- probably around the time of the 0.8.x release. It may make sense to have in-person meetings in some cities (like Berlin, Montreal, and Berkeley) and other folks join in by IRC.
