I know i'm not entirely free of guilt.
It would be good IMHO if we could clarify issues that came up since
the freeze, especially the hildon port.
Also it would be nice (for unfocused people like me) if stuff like
release timetables and blocker lists would be more visible, so i don't
always have to dig out the mail. Maybe we could have that on a webpage
or wiki, i'd be interested in helping to maintain this also.
