3.0 Packaging
Packaging has a lot of meanings and with multiple meanings you get confusion. What we call packaging in Shoes is to take one of you Shoes scripts or a directory of them and create an 'almost' real application that runs on someone else's system. Perhaps you just want to share it with your friends or classmates. Or maybe you want to share it with co-workers or even produce something you'll sell and support.
That's a large range uses and of course some things are harder to do than others. You also have consider how much effort you'll willing to inflict on your friends (or users). It's a classic trade off - you can do the harder work and they'll have to do less.
Shoes can do some very clever things without a lot of effort. Writing professional applications does require more work and Shoes will continue to evolve to make that less trouble some.
