It's a very bad week and I'm behind schedule. However, the public
draft revision is out, and I've posted an RFC on opengl.org (should show
tomorrow), opengl-gamedev-l, and comp.graphics.api.opengl. I extended
the comment period until March 6. I will be travelling 2/23-3/2 and have
limited access to email, BTW.
If you want to post the announcement on additional forums (/. ,
Linux Today, Freshmeat, other websites covering OpenGL, whatever), go
for it. I suggest something like the following. Thanks!

Subject: Public Comments Solicited for OpenGL ABI for Linux
The OpenGL ABI (Application Binary Interface) for Linux working
group has opened a public comment period. The purpose of the ABI is to
ensure that applications will build and run against a variety of
implementations of the OpenGL API on Linux platforms, and it's important
to get feedback from developers.
The draft ABI proposal can be found at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/
together with instructions on giving feedback. Comments will be
accepted through March 6, 2000, and the final ABI will be released
shortly thereafter.
