Well, I thought it is easy to find. Even google for "u-boot merge window" lists it as first link. > Now, talking above about wiki and IRC above, someone might get the > feeling 'and what's about the mailing list'?

If you are interested in the U-Boot development cycle you can get the information easily - see above.

Would ne not just add a lot of noise to the ML, without any real new information? If you want detailed information about each action, please feel free and register a RSS feed on the git repository. > Please note that I don't want to say that this didn't happen in the > past.

Sorry, but I cannot really follow you. All the information you request for seems to be present to me. I have posted this on the ML, and I update the web page pretty promptly. I don;t know why you missed the information. > (*) Well, most probably we should do it less often than RMK does post > his FAQs on arm-linux-kernel mailing list ;) He. At least his "You disturb me.
