Welcome to this year's 19th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. Debian users in Virginia, USA, may get in
[1]conflict with the law by only installing a regular Debian package,
since it may be a [2]delict to own tools like [3]bulkmail or
[4]smartlist which can be used to deliver mass email or modify
regular mail headers.

Welcome to this year's 21st issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. The GNOME project [1]released their unstable
snapshot of GNOME (version 2.3.2) for testing. The miniwoody CD, which
offers a stripped down variant of Debian woody, has been [2]renamed
to [3]Bonzai Linux.

Donations Wishlist. Wouter Verhelst [4]proposed to create a donations
wishlist similar to the one FreeBSD developers [5]maintain. The list
requires people to state how they would use the hardware. If someone
works on something which is important to someone elses business, a
donation could be to the benefit of both.

Proposal to remove Mosix. Francesco Lovergine [6]proposed to remove
all Mosix packages from the archive. Currently, Debian ships both
Mosix and OpenMosix. However, OpenMosix is more actively maintained
and even contains support for IA-64. It was forked off of Mosix when
Prof. Barak changed the license into a proprietary one.
