I already had some email dialogue with Refdoc based on this email. 
Should we forward that whole dialogue (probably 4 more email messages or 
so) here??

I am not really sure how wise it is to have the Sword packaging team 
communicate here, and the Sword developers using their own sword-devel 
list; I think the reason for some of the current frustrations Refdoc 
expressed is precisely that the two communities have been seen as being 
very separate, rather than working together.

Unless the email volume becomes truly overwhelming, it might be worth 
considering asking packagers to join the sword-devel list instead, and 
working there as part of that team.  Doing so would expose the 
developers to the needs of packagers, and also make for (hopefully) 
useful interaction and exchange of ideas between the development team 
and the packaging team as things move forward.

What do others think?
