Talk:Projectdb

Next meeting:

• Friday 2300 UTC / 1900 EST - for 1 hr.

This project & its development are under active discussion... notably, Holger is figuring out how to use it effectively while updating the status of the 70 projects that got XOs at LinuxTag, and adding the other 10+ that will get XOs in the coming weeks; and Francesca and I are keen on finalizing the application and review process so that it can be made more transparent & efficient. --Sj talk 15:54, 7 June 2008 (EDT)
