+<p>Some updates.</p>
+
+<p>My <a href="http://pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2">gnash pledge</a> to
+raise money for the project are going well. The lower limit of 10
+signers was reached in 24 hours, and so far 12 people have signed it.
+More signers and fund are most welcome, and I am really curious how
+far we can get until the time limit of December 24 is reached. :)</p>
+
+<p>On the #gnash IRC channel on irc.freenode.net, I was just tipped
+about what appear to be a great code coverage tool capable of
+generating code coverage stats without any changes to the source code.
+It is called
+<a href="http://simonkagstrom.github.com/kcov/index.html">kcov</a>,
+and can be used using <tt>kcov <directory> <binary></tt>.
+It is missing in Debian, but built just fine in Squeeze after I
+installed libelf-defv, libdwarf-dev, pkg-config and libglib2.0-dev.
+Failed to build in Lenny, but suspect that is solvable. I hope it
+make it into Debian soon.</p>
+
+<p>Finally found time to wrap up the release notes for <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2010/10/msg00002.html">a
+new alpha release of Debian Edu</a>, and just published the second
+alpha test release of the Squeeze based Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+release. Give it a try if you need a complete linux solution for your
+school, including central servers, workstations, thin client servers
+and diskless workstations. A nice touch added yesterday is RDP
+support on the thin client servers, for windows clients to get a full
+Linux desktop.</p>
