I have some things in mind I would like to see changed on the site, but I can't ask anyone to do it (if you volunteer, you're probably doing it for your fun...). However, I'll mention them anyway ;) - update the TODO list - see what the people are working on now, remove folks who aren't working on the VM and add new people - gather more relevant VM links and add them to the links page - monitor the mailing lists and keep a reasonably up-to-date status of the Linux VM on the page Since people have suckere^Wconvinced me to write up a whole load of documentation on the new VM (can you say "white paper"?), there will be real documents to add too, soon. ;) regards, Rik -- "What you're running that piece of shit Gnome?!?!" -- Miguel de Icaza, UKUUG 2000 http://www.conectiva.com/ http://www.surriel.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
