Currently Google Hangouts is not providing the optimal functionality we need across various operating systems for Nuts and Bolts. We hope our readers can provide us with some solid alternatives. If you know some, please reply on the mailing list.

The Current tahoe trunk doesn't always build on OS-X or Linux (#2728). The workaround is to build in a virtualenv, pre-install some packages, but then zetuptoolz conflicts with other requirements. We're considering performing the zetuptoolz-ectomy (#1582) before the 1.10.3 release, rather than immediately after that would make "pip install ." (well, with --editable) be the recommended way to hack on tahoe from source. This will need some docs changes, probably some new CI tests. It might be a big enough change to justify calling it 1.11 instead of 1.10.3. In addition, using 'pip install' and virtualenvs would probably close a lot of our packaging tickets.

Zooko and Warner are figuring out how to get a windows buildslave running on EC2.
