At the European X Developers' Conference last Sunday/Monday, I gave a talk on the modularisation effort; click through to slides if you're interested. The server now loads, runs, and works, and I'm committing it to CVS as soon as I can shepherd it through make distcheck. It does, of course, still have some rough edges, though.

Dear Clint,
Use rwX, which is 'execute where appropriate' (i.e. someone, somewhere, has +x), instead of rwx.
kthxbye.

I was reading the FSF's article on the GPLv3, and spied this notice at the end:

Copyright Richard Stallman and Eben Moglen, 2005. Verbatim copying of this article is permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved.

Not entirely surprising after the GFDL, but I still find it a little bit weird that an article defending arguably the most important manifesto of the Free Software world is licenced as such. I'm not entirely sure that I'm even allowed to reproduce that copyright statement, under its terms. Ho hum.
