[Gnewsense-dev] status of freedom bugs

[Karl Goetz]

Hi all,
I've started a list of our freedom bugs, and its status upstream.
I've only got about half our freedom bugs in the list, but it is a
start. Hopefully one someone else is willing to take on to finish.
If someone else wants to help work on this, the following would be
helpful (in this order):
- put it in a wiki page somewhere
- put it in a table ?
- email the list (so i can find it)
- find all other gns bug reports about freedom
- find out if they are fixed upstream/wontfix upstream
- if they are open, link to the upstream bug
- extra references for/against a bugs status.
- etc etc.
