Status, where we are?

Hi,

I returned from vacation last week and since then waded through a pile
of mails and did other catch-ups, hence the long silence. And yes, some
still wait for replies on things they dropped into my inbox. Before
I continue to read 70 new mails on this list and browse through the
wiki, is there anything I should know immediately or where action is
required from my side?

Thanks
  Eike
