I would still like to see an sDK happen.  I spend way too much time
trying to gather all the major packages together and install them on
each new machine.  A simple grouping of the major packages would free up
time for a lot of people.  I am pretty sure that we would all rather be
making things, teaching and learning, than spending time installing perl
modules.

Is there any possibility for this to still happen?  What can I do to
help?
