That's precisely the problem you pointed out "Points to the wrong place", the public case logs moved to arc.opensolaris.org, and the scripts that generate the ON pages were not updated, so the links all point off into never never land. Many of the recent cases mentioned on the flag-days page *are* open, the links are just dead. You can find much of the content on http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog. ON folks, can we get the flag-day page links fixed? (Also, and I've mentioned this separately, the 'all' flag-day page ceased updating.) -- Rich
