How about something as simple as a blog / planetplanet ? I find many people's status reports too dense / technobabbly to follow, but I always find their blog postings worth reading, perhaps because they're addressing it to a broad audience rather than just itemizing evidence of tasks done. It would encourage/permit images and hyperlinks, which we tend to not do so much with the current report. A nice thing about using blogs and a Desktop-team planetplanet is that it would easily give broader visibility into the desktop team's work than we have been achieving currently with the status-report wiki approach. (Admittedly, extra visibility can have its drawbacks...) Bryce -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
