With web stuff, it's Just Me. :-) I got very bored with the going-nowhere
problems we had before, and decided that we'd need some foundations to build
upon before getting everyone going for real. Once this is out, everyone can
have a look at poke fun at me (read: make it better).

  doesn't seem to work very well at all. ]

Not sure what you're referring to with regards to desktop development and
G2D; everything happens in bugzilla, on desktop-devel and on gnome-hackers.
Release team minutes are posted to desktop-devel too. That's probably a
better topic off this list, but I am interested. Mail me. :-)
