 The Gump PMC voted to grant 'root access' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (a non-member) to 
Brutus. Since Brutus is managed by the Gump team (and is standalone/untrusted) 
infrastructure felt this did not constitute a security concern.
 
-After some discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding the need for PMC oversight of 
mailing lists, the Gump PMC voted to sponsor [EMAIL PROTECTED] The intent is to 
discuss "Python w.r.t ASF", and allow the various Python projects to collaborate.

Unfortuantely,  the request has sat (seemingly untouched) in JIRA since August 4th 
2004. [5]
 
 Nicola Ken Barozzi has resigned from the Gump PMC.  We want to thank him for his past 
contributions and are happy that he still
 wants to keep in touch by retaining his committer status.
 
-Gump now can generate XHTML output directly without the need of a Forrest webapp 
(although still a supported option). This reduction in dependency is intended to ease 
Gump installation (and hence adoption) by new users.

-Gump has received some technical improvements recently. Gump was migrated from Python 
2.2 to Python 2.3 (and benefits from many new language features). Multithreading 
support for CVS|SVN downloads removed latency delays from Gump's total run time. MySQL 
integration (for historical results data) is currently underway.
+Gump has received some technical improvements recently. Gump was migrated from Python 
2.2 to Python 2.3 (and benefits from many new language features). Multithreading 
support for CVS|SVN downloads removed latency delays from Gump's total run time. MySQL 
integration (for historical results data) is currently live. RDF is generated 
describing projects and their interactions (at dependency level) using a 
work-in-progress Gump Ontology.
 
 Gump's current focus is on opening itself up to more developers (via documentation) 
and new users.  As part of reaching beyond Java Mono 1.0 has been installed on Brutus 
and we are collaborating with the NAnt[4] community to take on .NET projects.
 
+Along these lines, and with little to no help from the Gump community, Peter Janes 
took Python Gump and integrated it with Perforce [6]. He supplied patches that added 
Perforce repository capabilities to complement CVS and SVN. This patch included 
documentation [7] [8] and was very high quality work.
+
+Gump now build artifacts and stores them in an online repository, and (as such) can 
build projects using historical artifacts in it's repository. This will allow Gump to 
smooth out the problems of 'prerequisite failure' Further, Gump also works with Depot 
to download artifacts from artifact repositories to automate package processing, 
and/or allow cascaded Gumps. None of this code is well tested/mature at this point, 
and some problem reports exist.
