[Grok-dev] Re: How do I install Grokstar?

[Sebastian Ware]

:( and :). Maybe hurry.workflow is the culprit. That is also the most  
exciting part of Grokstar :) Anyway, I am still too much of a newbie  
to be of any useful help here, otherwise I would have tried to fix it  
myself.

Many thanks for taking a look at it!

Regards Sebastian
