The ones I covered were the outstanding fast-tracks as of 4:44AM PST
Wednesday morning, and as reported by sac_astat. (I have a cron job
that runs this.)
Unfortunately, I'm not sure (off hand) how that lines up with the
agenda that gets sent out by email. I'd encourage checking the web
page before and during the meeting, though, to make sure you have the
latest information.

arc-discuss at opensolaris.org and John Plocher are likely to be the
right contacts for most web site problems. I don't know much about
(or have access to) the mechanism that syncs the web site.
In this case, it looks like the original submitter incorrectly marked
his materials as "Sun Proprietary/Confidential," which I believe
triggers the omission of the case from the web site. Contact the case
owner (Kais Belgaied) and intern (Frank Che) to have this fixed.

Indeed!

That should be visible on the web -- it's the "issues" file in the
case directory. If it's not showing up, contact John as above.
Issues are normally numbered with counting integers, like this:
jdc-1 This project looks like fun.
Level 0 questions are just the ones that are marked as "-0" (rather
than a counting number), and mean "deal with this first, because I
don't even know what we're reviewing here."

You won't have access to sac_nextcase, which is the tool that
generates new fast-tracks or the ability to insert questions into the
"issues" file, without contacting someone on the inside to do it for
you. These are the two known gaps: we need new opensolaris.org-based
tools to do at least these two tasks right away, and likely several
others in the future.
