Later - if you start to release stable versions to public is would be good if there is a Installer.

Espacially for Win and OSX. I think for many users it's not easy to handle ZIP Files and start the right file. A installer should extract the ZIP file and create some Icons (Desktop, Menu) And the Uninstaller of course should remove all the installed stuff.

I have some experience in Debian packaging, I could make a package and try to push it to experimental. Maybe now that I'm a FSFE member they will consider me eheheh but I don't think they'll accept betas :-(

yes, the ordinary user will expect that.

Windows: I will look into NSIS (yeah, scripting)
Linux: a Debian package would be great, I can also add an AUR package for Arch. But this can wait until stable release, Linux guys are known to be capable of extracting a zip and click on file.
Mac: no idea. But I heard Steve Jobs is dead, anyway

The next release will include a Windows installer exe. For demanding or providing installer/packages for other platforms open additional issues.
