All,
It's time again for the bi-monthly status reports. The July-Oct 2004 status reports were preempted by the 5.3 release, so this one is open
for anything that has happened since June. As always, submissions
having to do with FreeBSD development, documentation, organized events,
etc, are welcome and highly encouraged. Submissions are due by Jan 15
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There are also a couple of changes to announce. First is that Tom Rhodes and Max Laier have volunteered to help run the status reports and keep them more timely. Many thanks to Tom and Max for offering to help. Second is that a couple of new attributes have been added to the XML thanks to Max. The first is a project category attribute that will enable us to group the submissions into categories and render the full report with these categories for easier viewing. You can choose to use whatever category tag fits your report best, or omit it entirely and let us take care of it. The category mapping is listed below. Feel free to suggest additional categories.
proj - Projects (non-specific) docs - Documentation kern - Kernel arch - Architectures ports - Ports vendor - Vendor / 3rd party software misc - Miscellaneous
The second new attribute lets you lists tasks for your project that others can help with. An example is provided in the template under the <help> and <task> tags.
The template is available at http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-sample.xml. I've just committed the updated version with the new tags, so it might take a few
hours for it to reach the website for downloading.
Submissions are due on Jan 15. Thanks a lot, and we are looking for a big turn-out.
Scott
