Actually, now that you mention it. I already planned to submit an article about all the goodness of GCC 4.5 to LWN. They seem very enthusiastic and are waiting for my submission. But work got on the way and I have barely started. Nonetheless, both Ian and Diego have agreed to read parts of it and suggested other reviewers for the topics I plan to cover. So, unless anyone is against this plan, I will just try to meet the deadlines, and do the best that I can. Cheers, Manuel.
