Actually, now that you mention it. I already planned to submit an
article about all the goodness of GCC 4.5 to LWN. They seem very
enthusiastic and are waiting for my submission. But work got on the
way and I have barely started. Nonetheless, both Ian and Diego have
agreed to read parts of it and suggested other reviewers for the
topics I plan to cover.
So, unless anyone is against this plan, I will just try to meet the
deadlines, and do the best that I can.
Cheers,
Manuel.
