That would be really nice. Especially if there was a little overview of
the things that regular classpath-patches hackers probably don't know
about like the jdwp work in gcj and the frysk system-monitoring and
debugging work which even regular GNU Classpath hackers probably know
little about since most development happens on other mailinglists.

Lets make sure we have note-takers available!

Yes, that would be great. One thing I would really like to see is
auto-build, packaged native eclipse and jonas with running test-suites
like Andrew O. and Andrew H. have posted in the past.
