Hi All,

On next Monday we will have the first meeting to close OFED 1.3 features
and schedule.
As a preparation I send here the list of features we already reviewed in
Sonoma, and other features I see in progress on the general list
discussions.
I know this is a long mail :-( but I ask each of the
maintainers/customers to review this list and send comments and other
requests.

There are some ULPs that I placed "?" and the owner should review and
reply with the plans.

Thanks,
Tziporet
