critical-release bugs. In Development news, discussion of FLOSS

which applications can be ported to Windows using the MinGW libraries.

roadmap for translation, and migration of Damned Lies to the new

Django-based interface. Infrastructure reports availability of WordPress

multi-user for Fedora sub-projects, and planning for cgit as a
