Hi!
As not everyone might follow the recent changes of the wiki, I'd like to tell
you quickly that we'll release next week's alpha to the public. I hope we can
sort out all blockers till then.
The factory tree looked ok to me this morning. But I hope to have a new sync
with a fixed syslog-ng soonish - for the impatient ones I suggest

Greetings, Stephan

The previous alpha received some very
mixed reviews. To
repeat what was said:
All told this release is kinda broken, but it is an alpha. You have to break a few eggs to make a souffl’e, and hopefully it won’t fall next release. This is the first release for which Coolo took responsibility, but he came along late in the game. Let’s hang this one on Andreas. (jk) Actually, Coolo is said to have stated that this is the first alpha to feel like an alpha. Well, I don’t know about that.
A couple of days ago I received a mysterious parcel from someone who do not wish to be identified. It contained a bunch of OpenSUSE DVDs. I'm still not entirely sure what it's about, let alone who sent it and why.
