Yeah sorry, we probably could have added extra packages but it wasn't on 
my radar.

Perhaps we could add another section after the package list which 
outlines some packages which missed the cut. I have a few late ones also 
that didn't make it:

radium-compressor
lv2-triceratops
lv2-newtonator

I will mup and these to the master kickstart sometime soon.

Also, I have fleshed out the contribute section.Feel free to edit and amend.
