--- officially --- According to tickets #6973 and #6945, 703 loads the wrong keyboard map for Haiti and inappropriately invokes GTK-IM for Ethiopia. It is proposed that we make a small bug-fix release to allow Haiti and Mongolia to make effective use of their laptops with a 703-like build.
The USR process checklist for this release is here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SW-ECO_5_Checklist and the Wiki documentation is at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SW-ECO_5 At present, we believe that #6973 and #6945 can be fixed without security-sensitive changes. --- less officially --- We've got a fair amount of divergence between current joyrides and 703: http://dev.laptop.org/~rwh/announcer/joyride_vs_update1.html and I'm mildly interested in reducing this divergence. Also, there are some tickets at http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=Update1.1 (and some not recorded there) which we ought to consider. If you can provide a package by Sunday night which is useful and which comes with some evidence that the change introduces no regressions, please speak up and I'll see whether we can dig up the resources required to QA your change.
