Those seem like excellent things for us to ask Tim Cramer to provide an update on to the OGB. I have seen a brief note on bugs.os.o improvements on Bonnie's blog ([1]) but not progress on the migration plans.

We have discussed requiring regular (possibly quarterly reports) from communities, like the Apache Foundation does, but not actually started doing so.

Frankly, I don't know where the master list is kept internally, though I've helped list & prioritize X11 portions of various versions of the list. I think this is another one we'll have to ask Tim about. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
