  We've all been working hard since the 0.8.5 release on AVM2 and 
better ActionScript 2/3 support. You'd need to test with trunk and 
configure with --enable-avm2, although I think it's time to make this 
the default. (--disable-avm2 would work).

  The plan is to start on the next release in early Sept, to make the 
code freezes for Fedora and Ubuntu with a few weeks to spare.

  Yes, all help debugging and patching is useful, as it's a time 
consuming process. There are some other notes on our wiki done for the 
Summer Bash, http://wiki.gnashdev.org/Website_Compatibility. Some sites 
are all now working much better after the last few months of hacking. 
Other swf files play more correctly, for instance most of the Text 
handling and formatting works correctly now.

  Since next week is the last week for the interns, they're documenting 
what was done over the summer, and what is left to be done for the sites 
they've been using for testing.
