Comment(by erinn):

 Oh this is very close! Thanks a lot. Here are some immediate (and
 relatively minor) suggestions:

 1. Can you make it so that it follows the naming convention for the Mac OS
 X browser bundles? These are determined in the makefile (torbrowser.git
 /build-scripts/osx.mk in the compressed-bundle-localized target, such as:
 zip -r $(DISTDIR)/$(DEFAULT_COMPRESSED_BASENAME)$(LANGCODE).zip
 $(NAME)_$(LANGCODE).app)

 You can probably reconstruct the basic name format by looking at the
 standard bundle name right now (TorBrowser-2.2.35-4-dev-osx-i386-ar.zip ),
 or we can change it. The information that must be contained, as per the
 naming conventions mentioned in torbrowser.git/docs/HACKING, is the
 version, arch, and language. I think something like
 TorBrowser-2.2.35-4-osx-i386-ar.dmg should be okay. It occurs to me that I
 don't mention the langcode in the HACKING doc, so I'll have to update
 it...

 Where is the applescript we talked about?

 Regarding the image, I think it's a good start. Would you mind me emailing
 Jeremy to see if he has any suggestions?

 Thanks again, we're really close now!
