[mapguide-internals] MapGuide RFC 57 - Refining the linuxbuildprocess and generating install packages

[Tom Fukushima]

I've fixed up that page.  Feel free to enter task tickets for any web page changes; I think that this will help to keep the noise on this mailing list down.

The MapGuide Architecture page is available from here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/
and indirectly from here: http://mapguide.osgeo.org/developer.html (which is the "As a Contributor" link from the main page). Where are you thinking of adding another link?  (BTW, this also could be added as a task ticket).

Thanks
Tom

as a 'Project Contributor' can I ask the 'Project Developers' to
consider nominating Helio? :)

the developers page could do with a little TLC,

Areas of Need needs a few version numbers bumped up
and I think the MapGuideArchitecture wiki page is worthy addition for
the developer resources
