Good idea. Well, the current web space kinda sucks, but it's better than
nothing =)

Ah - I adjusted the mailing list links as that was mentioned somewhere,
but didn't think to change the others. Thanks for the tip.

http://lwn.net/Articles/317847/

What I'm seeing with Firefox-3.0.6 (same as used for previous report)
right now are question marks "?" where the up-arrows should be. Not as
deranged looking as the numeric character references, but still not
nice.

Good night,

It flows very nicely and is very readable. I think Dale's comments are
useful and would add that it's probably best to specify dates and times
as per the style guide[1]. Apart from the large number of local
variations in how dates are written out the content is archived so it's
easier for people reading it to see 2009-02-19 than "this Thursday,
February 19th".

Thanks again for taking on this beat Adam!

They seem good now.

Re your previous email: like you I've really wished there were some way
that message sent out to the mailing-lists contained some archive
information in their headers. That is, we would be able to extract a
http://redhat.com/archives/some-mail-list/date/msgXXXX.html information
from them.

I'll get back to you on possibly useful vim macros and functions later.

Best,

"In this section, we cover the activities of the QA teams. "

It might be nice to link from here to info on the QA team and/or a mailing list if there is one. Something to entice people to find out how to contribute.

You might consider updating all the https wiki links to http for the benefit of caching proxies, etc.

I think this will be a very informative beat. I'm glad you're doing it.

Hi, guys. I've just completed the QA section for FWN. As it's my first

up? :) Thanks!

Yes, I am off from work tomorrow, taking care of some sick kids, so can
shepherd #163 through.

redhat archives down ?

I guess that's what ya get for waiting till the last minute. The list archives are all down with errors of either:

"redhat.com is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later."

or

"Planned Maintenance We are currently performing routine systems maintenance and our on-line systems are temporarily unavailable."

I'll try to work on the Virtualization Beat later.

Developments written. Anyone willing to take charge of #163

Hi all,

Developments beat is done and dusted. Huzaifa, Pascal can one of you
take charge of #163? I can get to doing maybe an hour in 5 hours from
the timestamp of this email but Monday I will be out of action until the
evening.

General points to remember for all contributors:

1. Please use http instead of https for archive references where
possible.
2. Please use User:fasname to identify people if you can -- not always
easy and there are redirects in place so don't sweat this if it's too
much trouble
3. Please use the new inline reference markup

Thank you,
