That would be cool, thanks!

htdocs/index.html should contain updates for every switch of stages; 
finding one of those, and the referring to the status mail (by Mark)
which is also linked there should work.  (Trick #1)

The end of stage 3 is a bit easier, here we can just use the date when
the release branch was created.  http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/branches/
comes handy here.   (Trick #2)


I used Trick #2 and 
  http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/branches/gcc-3_1-branch/INSTALL/README?view=log
to identify the end of stage 3 of GCC 3.1, and I used
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-06/msg01175.html
to identify the end of stage 1 of GCC 3.2.


If you could work on some of the other open dates, as you indicated, that 
would be really cool!

Thanks,
Gerald

Update dates for the ends of GCC 3.1 Stage 3 and GCC 3.2 Stage 1.
