[general] Board report due

[Tim Ellison <t....@gmail.com>]

It is time for me to submit a brief report to the Board on what we have
been doing in Harmony over the last three months.

I've written my version of events on the wiki [1], and invite you to
either update it directly or respond here and I'll merge your changes.
I know we have been very active, but we need to keep it short so please
try and be succinct.

[1] http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/Board200709

Regards,
Tim

Last call for updates or corrections.
I intend to send it in this weekend.

My apologies, I thought from the dev list discussions that they had
already been committed.  I don't think there would be any objection to
these enhancements going in (hint hint).

ack - I updated the page.

IMO the following is not quite correct:
- build-test infrastructure : enhancing our framework to run with more
test suites such as Mauve / Derby / ...

It sounds for me like we have done it but I don't see adaptors for the
framework in SVN or JIRA. Am I missing something?

Concerning the testing infrastructure I'd say that we are continuously
improving it by adding more scenarios to the snapshot testing. So
currently we regularly publish snapshots (3 per week) with their
testing results.

Thanks,
Stepan.

Thanks Alexei -- I added a line for that work too.

I understand that this probably didn't draw much community attention
but we've also done some work in client (i.e. AWT&Swing) area - it
became more stable (according to JIRA more than 70 issues were fixed);
 we reenabled jEdit on Linux since it was crashing in July; fixed some
Windows fonts issues via font.properties and etc.

So I suggest to add something like:
client: became more stable and robust

Thanks,
Alexei
