Yeah, it's actually quite an impressive set of activities, and that's only the stuff where developers got around to submitting status to me. :-) We also have a highly active Sparc64 port that didn't submit information, for example (although has in previous rounds). In theory, I've committed the bits and pieces for it to turn up as a newsflash, and it looks like the web site just rebuilt in the last hour and now includes it (albeit it a little indirectly -- you have to click a few times). I'm not very good on the xml front, so it may be a little bit of cleaning up behind me is required. For example, it looks like I botched some of the special character conversions -- we appear not to support the symbolic names for &variousthings;, and the numeric version mapping I used isn't quite right. Anyhow, I encourage people to submit contents for future reports also, it provides a lot more visibility into what's going on, both for people who track development closely, and for those who don't.
