Great stuff--thanks.

Too late--I already put the table up. :) Seriously, of course anyone should
fix up the table to suit their needs. As it stands, the only fields
that must be edited are "Adopted" and "Open/Bug/No Bug". And I
suppose it might be useful to edit the Summary for some reason.
Whatever works for everybody--I will just put in on hold and get back
to the kernel work, as Brian suggested. The table just has 23 entries
so far, none of them kernel-related.

Ouch! That's downright spooky--what a relief to have gNewSense
available.

Thanks--that's interesting. I look forward to messing around with
that later, for a number of reasons.
