Aloha,

Reminder - I will be incommunicado August 12 - 19 (and probably way 
drowning in mail when I return...).

When ready will be up to programmer-dudes.  Ad-hoc testing can start as 
soon as it's deployed AND it would be really nice to have our issue 
tracker ready.

See my forward of response from ibiblio, and request for John H. to roll 
bugzilla issue tracker request into his overall contact with ibiblio.
Yes I know that was already suggested, I was just hoping to get it going 
sooner since we could start using it immediately if it were available.

John H., if we do/have decided you will host project startup platform, 
can you add bugzilla to that suite of goodies?

On my to-do list...

Initially I don't see anyone other than our little group here testing.
More on testing methodologies with the docs I will post.

I am guessing this is about the time we will have a serious alpha 
release to work over - both for bugs and for learning about features, 
etc. that we didn't think of until we had at least an alpha to play with.

> Week 6: August 29-September 4

I will probably be doing some traveling early september possibly to 
early october.
Will have my office (laptop) with me so will be able to keep a hand in 
on a somewhat regular basis (i.e. when I have phone line and power 
available :-).
