Quick summary: we're far behind where we are on i386. In particular, we can't build KDE anywhere at the moment, which affects the release package set. We really need more help from our sparc64 users to decide where we should be spending our efforts (e.g., try to fix various desktop issues? or, concentrate on server-only issues?) Recently several people have expressed an interest in loaning machines and fixing bugs, so consider this an effort at coordination. If you've got any questions, please email me directly. mcl
