I assume you are talking about contribs.org ???

As far as it goes, currently there is nothing much to make public.

There is no official body for contribs.org /SME

There is merely a PayPal account which currently receives a couple of
hundred dollars a month in donations, which is insufficient to cover
Shads basic server costs, let alone pay for anything else. That IMHO is
disgraceful and something we have to change as soon as possible - there
are lots of people out there making money from SME installs, and not
contributing back........

However, I am currently in the process of trying to form an official
'body' so we can incorporate 'SME' as a legal entity with a proper bank
account etc.

I hope to be able to make an announcement about this for discussion in
the very near future.

I am also forming a couple of groups to look at both the development
direction of SME, plus the business aspect of things - with an official
'body' behind us can then try and work out how to raise more funds for
the development of SME.

Again I hope to make some announcements about this in the very near future.

Please ask if you have any further questions, though it would probably
be better if you could wait until we have some proposals for discussion.
You can email me directly if you have any specifics you want to know
about, or any suggestions etc.

In the meantime we need more bodies to work on v9. If we don't get v9
out of the door, and soon, all the official stuff will all be worthless.

So *please*, get a copy of v9 and start thrashing it or verifying it. If
you aren't sure of what to do or how to do it then ask either on the
devinfo list or pop in and have a chat on freenode #SME_Server
