[manjaro-dev] Update on Manjaro-arm and help with boxit

[kendell clark]

hi
I'm very excited about this. We've been wanting to release a universal 
arm image of sonar, which in case you're not familiar with it is a 
version of manjaro with speech, high contrast, an on screen keyboard, 
etc enabled for those that need it. Are you planning to eventually make 
arm a supported architecture of manjaro or will it always be a separate 
project?
Thanks
Kendell clark
