==============================================================

 1)  Catching Up

--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry for not keeping up on this, but since there really
was nothing to report publicly, I didn't really want to post
anything. Nevertheless, when people start asking if your
project is dead, it's time to post a summary :-)

==============================================================

 2)  The UI Hit Squad & Eazel, Inc.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Quite a few people have been wondering what the deal is
between the UI Hit Squad and Eazel, Inc. The answer is that
there is no deal. Eazel is busy with Nautilus, and the UI Hit
Squad is busy with other areas, so at the moment, there is
virtually no overlap, and no need to worry about interaction.
This will almost certainly change after Nautilus goes gold,
but until then, it's business as usual.

==============================================================

 2)  Ongoing Efforts

--------------------------------------------------------------

The UI Hit Squad is currently working on improvements to
gnome-core (some of which exist in limited fashion in the
1.1.x/1.2.x series and can be seen at
http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-ui/hitsquad/gnome-core.html),
a UI Style Guide (since we have recieved quite a few requests
for one from application authors), and a UI for a
cross-platform system administration tool.

==============================================================

And *this* time, I will actually keep my promise to release
bi-weekly reports, Really.
