Are you sure your don't want to take over coordination, at least for the
upcoming potato release?
We need to map out a list of active developers and their skills, and
divide the tasks among them. We also need a release plan for
boot-floppies.
Currently the boot and root floppies work again (in my tree), the base
package and driver floppies are still broken; modules.tgz is too large for
one floppy, so we have to split that too. I am currently busy with
dbootstrap, and haven't looked at base.tgz and driver floppies yet. I'll
probably commit some of my changes tonight.
Btw, are we dropping 1200k support?
