[STATUS 2.5] December 18, 2002

[Guillaume Boissiere]

Nothing new in the kernel status list this week. 
A lot of stabilization work and bug fixes.

In case you want to check it out anyway, here the URL again:
  http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/

It also looks like the bug database is working out well, 
more than half the bugs entered so far have been resolved.
Cheers,

-- Guillaume
