Summary of comments on Slashdot article

[Jake]

My Internet connection appears to be back now so I should be able to start
going through some of these docs updates in the near future. From what I
understand (I haven't actually had much of a chance to look at the win32
docs update bug) 2.18 runs on Windows with no code changes. This certainly
makes the pain of installing Bugzilla on windows much less. In fact, I
really should try it myself :P.

I'll have to remmeber to take a look at his article when I get a chance.
While this person certainly could have asked his question on the
newsgroup, a little exposure on Slashdot is actually pretty cool :). Wish
I would have seen it when it was first posted as it would have been nice
to make an "informative" post or two, but oh well :).

I'd actually try and slip some more updates into the 2.18 tarball, but I
don't know when that's gonna be rolled and I know that it won't be held up
for docs (nor would I want it to be).
