Hi,
Here's this week's summary of status reports. I have one request for
future submissions: please be more explicit about the *subject* of your
work so that others not familiar with your work can put the statement in
context. I frequently see phrases like "Finished work on the search
interface", where its not at all clear what the search interface is
searching. Thanks.
