[disclaimer: this status report does not contain any April Fool's joke]

- openSUSE 11.0 nears beta freeze
- many features are taking care of right now, bugfixes are often 
  delayed
- factory is in pretty good shape, bootloader saw a fix :)
- installation is actively been worked on, automatic configuration
  in second stage and image base installation should work now.
- we switched to lzma payload for rpm last week
- we seriously think about dropping the one CD solutions and
  concentrate on the installable live CDs + providing a live USB 
  stick

This would have some implications I would love to have feedback on:
live cds would be i386 and x86_64, the USB stick would be a smaller
system to download as compressed i386 disk image. So I would not put
office and games on it, but rather some rescue tools and e.g. 
wireshark. If someone volunteered to create a pattern for that,
it would be excellent. 

Greetings, Stephan
