you can find them linked off of devel.

http://devel.linuxkb.org/devballs/ to be exact. and yes, you'll need to
upgrade.

Well dude, we need you to buckle down and work on it.  Spend the time to
read the comments in Jason's object code.  Send the list specific
questions with samples of your code and the errors.  We can't help you
if we don't have enough info.

We can't let Feb 1st go-live slip even one day.  Jason, Daniel, and I are
going to Linux World thanks to Mandrake and we're going to look like shit
if the site isn't usable.  Also Chris DiBona is going to be at Linux World
and I'm sure he's going to stop on by to take a look at what we've done.  
I really don't want to have to explain to him why the site doesn't work
after over a year.  We're counting on everyone to do their part.
