Developers
Mick Amadio (01mick - main support developer on Lucid) Unconfirmed Chief Developer
Jay (puppyLuvr) - Compiling something...A cute GUI...backgrounds and icons...themes
Ttuuxxx I would be willing to support this release ... should be almost 100% compatible and about 10% smaller
Nooby, dejan555 - testing
Iguleder - ideas and creativity ... maybe some packages and code
sc0ttman - a few GUIs, make a few PETs, testing, etc...
Lobster - promotion/publicity
Ian Milgrew - I would love to support Puppy 5.3 so just let me know how I can help and I'll do the best that I can.
Scsijon - You can add me in somewhere, testing, those few apps I 'package', a spare site to host the alphas/betas to spread the load, anything else I can do.
Playdayz - I have already helped Mick by making a slackware pet for the ATI Catalyst driver, and I will help in the process as a tester.
TubeGuy - Logo idea, need feedback!
To Do
- Test current spup, just for a taste
- Drum up support using PM, IRC
- Create logo (first logo created by Tubeguy - see top of page)
- Develop wiki page (that is this one) UsingThisWiki register with raffy for access if planning to contribute to wiki
- Open invitation/dialogue with Slackware developers
- Develop Bacon and scripting skills
- *recompile heaps of stuff
- fix guis for small screens
- decide what icon layout is best.. maybe someone can hack something together for small screens
- translate... no need to reinvent the wheel here, many of shinobar's wary quickset programs will fit right in
- fix quickpet for spup (maybe rename to slickpet)
Time Line

- Pre alpha ready at least a week after Patrick releases Slackware 13.37 (currently at RC4 status
