<h2>An Apology</h2>
I'd like to apologize to the authors whose updates I accidentally
omitted from the weekly update of the 2002-02-12. That week's missing
updates are now listed correctly. See
<a href="ldpwn-2002-02-12.html">that issue</a> of the LDPWN for
corrected information and more updates.
<h2>Development Planning</h2>
I proposed a rather ambitious change to our production systems, see
<a href="http://scoop.lupercalia.net">my home page</a> to read the
design notes. The <a href="http://scoop.kuro5hin.org">Scoop</a> code
lets you make comments if you register, so feel free to comment.
<p>I'm seeking feedback. This is a proposal only at this point, so
now's the time for staff and authors to address any concerns.
