First of all, did your read the INSTALL file?

Second, I'm not exactly sure what steps you've followed to get where
you are with snowy.  So all I can really recommend is that you read
the INSTALL file and make sure you've followed all of those steps.

Of course, as Benoit says, for real deployment you need to use
something like modpython or wsgi, but to be honest Snowy is really not
ready to be deployed to a live server.  Syncing and stuff works fine,
but we have not done any real security testing.  I would not feel
comfortable running it on a live server right now, personally.

However, if you do deploy it, and you have anything to add to the wiki
pages Benoit linked, please feel free to edit them.

As for help, what we need most right now are an extensive suite of
verification tests (including security-related tests), and work on the
UI.  Of course, we can get Snowy in a deployable state without
improving the UI, but now that we have awesome mockups, it should be
easy for a good HTML/CSS hacker to get started contributing that way.

Hope this helps,
Sandy
