I'm very interested in seeing a "croquet appliance" created that would allow a
server to be brought up headlessly and configured with minimal expertise.

I'm willing to donate some time & energy to making this happen using the rPath
Appliance Platform, which I know very well indeed. 

However, I need a collaborator who knows Croquet very well indeed.

I note that someone with handle 'pshouse' started a Croquet appliance project on
rBuilder Online recently (http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/croquet/)

I can help whoever that is. 

Regards

Brett
