Yeah. I think gcjers had some nice successes internally with monotone 
(no wonder, with graydon being a gcjer :). He's coming over for a visit 
to my (new, I moved with my gf last September) place next week, so I'll 
get my Monotone news first hand :)

Sounds good to me. Thanks a lot for keeping everything running so 
snappy. On a side note, we pushed out some 14 gig of stuff out according 
to the webalizer, which is about 50% more than regular, and the new 
release seems to be well-received, with some 500 downloads per week. 
considering that it's just source code, no binaries, for a rather small 
target audience, it's a pretty good result.

In that light, I'd suggest making a 1.1.6 release with the Debian 
patches integrated back in, more docs, and a few other gump, nice & 
other free software related fixlets soon. If we can get another huge 
chunk of code from Classpath merged in soon, say java.util.zip, I think 
that would be a good enough reason to release, and let the distros have 
their necessary regular fixes.

finally, I think we've reached the stage again, where a bug tracker 
seems to be necessary again to keep up with all the bugs coming onto the 
list :( I'd suggest Bugzilla, and could help set one up.

cheers,
