Just as a side-note in here, because I didn't want to clutter the main page:  if you're trying to install on a Debian squeeze box, you'll need to use the JSON perl module from CPAN instead of the libjson-perl package.  Squeeze ships with 2.21, and we need 2.53, which is only present in wheezy & later.

Is the warning about needing dw-nonfree still necessary? From feedback from folks on IRC I'm under the impression we don't need it anymore if all we want is to get a basic installation up and running.

(Though we still have some assumptions made in the payments system, etc, which means we're not fully ready to start a new production installation out of the box. Much closer, though!)
