A procedure to properly package and install the web apps needs to be developed. Right now, I have a copy of status.net installed and running in my development virtual machine but the complete codebase for that copy is not checked into Git. We don't have a separate .xzm file set up for it, either. We probably should. Right now the build process for 000-byzantium.xzm requires a rather ugly hack documented near the end of the build procedure (http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Process_for_manually_installing_Byzantium. (again, mind that period!)) but we should come up with a process for downloading the source for the web apps, installing it in the fakeroot, and copying the necessary config files out of the Git repo into the right places for the web apps. That will involve finalizing the web apps, which we're not ready to do at this stage (v0.1a).

This is going to be a big job.
