weekly news - 20040402

Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================

Hi everyone!

We had a fun week alltogether. It's actually quite busy and most devs are
currently occupied in one thing or another. Quite a few are working on the
doc effort to produce some documents that provide you with more information
about several non-standard lunar things, as well as basic stuff like
networking.

If people are interested they should follow the mailinglists. As the documents
mature they'll be posted around the mailinglists for review. Anyone's 
comments and suggestions are welcome. Also, if you want to start up some
particular document yourself you are welcome. Join us in #lunar on
irc.freenode.net for a chat.

Shorter things: The 2.6 -mm patchset seems to work again, but people have 
reported that the NVIDIA module doesn't work with 2.6.5 (patched or not).
Gnome 2.6 is alllllmost out... just not yet in moonbase, a few minor fixes
in perl/theedge, and the whole list below of updates.

ciao,

/sofar
