Clutch is now is now doing most of what i originally intended. http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html
I am now away for the weekend. To those at ApacheCon, enjoy your closing phase.

It seems a little slow at the moment while doing the 'svn log' for each project's status file. -David David Crossley wrote: > I recently found that some new projects get a little > lost at the acceptance phase.
