The only reason I did not deploy all the whiteboard plugins was becuase 
of time. I have no problem with any/all being deployed. Right now I'm 
busy fighting with a weird error in the DOAP plugin (something I 
actually need to deploy).

It would be great if every committer actually deploys one whiteboard 
plugin, we'd be through them in no time.

Once I've done the DOAP plugin I'll move onto another.

Yeah that is what i have been trying to encourage.

This previous message was only related to the plugins
that use java and so more crticial.

I will list those and we can ensure that they are done.
The rest are up to people to state their needs.
