  This page contains the data that will comprise the next 'crossfire traffic' - over the course of the month, any events of significance should be added to it, and at the end of the month, these will be combined and edited into the final version which will be widely propagated. This page will then be reset to get ready for the next month. If you know of something that should be included, or are just too impatient to wait until the end of the month, then this is the place to refer to it. 
  
  Remember, crossfire traffic is for things which are user-visible, if there is a visible effect (or is likely to be in the near future) it belongs here.

  Crossfire Traffic is a means to communicate the activity surrounding crossfire in an accessible and non-technical way, it is targeted at those who are curious about what is happening with the project, but find the existing mailing lists, CVS list. forum, wiki and IRC channels overly complicated, scary, or time consuming to read. As such it does not contain any background details, but instead focuses only on things that are user-visible

  ====Mailing List====
