Announcements and News
======================

Happy New Year
--------------

TWN hopes everyone had a wonderful winter holiday and a happy new year. We look
forward to all the new features to come in the new year.

Issues with TWN
---------------

Several people have brought to my attention various issues they have experienced
with TWN. This ranges from Gmail tagging issues as spam to the HTML version
being non-existent (this should be fixed). If you have any issue, please create
a bug in `Trac`_ under the documentation section. This will immediately assign
it to Patrick and he can work to resolve the issue.

Mailing List
============

Freelab initiative was rather busy on the mailing list with questions on `magic
folders`_, `Tahoe in a VM`_, and `the difference between tahoe backup and magic
folder`_.

Kyle Markley has an `user friendliness wishlist`_ centered around the tahoe deep
check repair command.
