Aaron, would you make the announce of the Release Engineering Group and the current status? So that users see: we are working, the next iso release is near.

Announcement made about the team. I didn't add info regarding the current status, but I think some people may expect it 8)

...

We could also say: only stopper ATM is FS#12867 (USB). But AFAIK that bug must be not a total stopper for the ISOs, installation and rescue/maintenance should be possible. Also we could apply your mkinitcpio patch preventive.

New mkinitcpio is in testing. Also, an initscripts package I'd like to get on the ISO (Copyright year changed to 2009)

I will rebuild sample ISOs with three new packages I updated today: aif, initscripts, and mkinitcpio

Thanks Aaron! We have 35 members watching this list (see http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/roster/arch-releng ) that's pretty cool! Aaron can you also set us up with write permissions to the developerwiki so we can start working on some documentation/procedures etc? Also, I couldn't find any release/installer related documentation on the current developerwiki, is there any documentation/drafts already written by others which could be useful to us? Dieter
