I'm glad that got mentioned, but the question was whether the lengthy document Jamie attached to this post ever got mirrored to the site: http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/01/March/1330.html Any time we can get detailed status information like this published we really should. In fact, now that Jamie (BeOS) and Tom Briggs (Win32) and Thomas (QNX) have each made an effort to create status pages for their platform ports, I think it's high time that we find a way to make those pages official. It would be really cool if we had a developer status page on our site where potential AbiWord developers could check in to see what's needed for various areas of the code. We already have many of the raw materials for this -- bugzilla, AWN, POWs, various matrices, and now these platform-specific pages. Is anyone interested in figuring out what's needed to create a new subsite at one of the following URLs: http://www.abisource.com/dev/ http://www.abisource.com/status/ The key issues would be: - coming up with a good organization / look for the pages - figuring out how each page gets updated - recruiting folks to own each of the pages Any volunteers?
