2015-11-16 What's up with Servo for the week of 09 Nov 2015 - 16 Nov 2015
In the last week, we landed 106 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.
We have a new homepage, http://www.servo.org! Many thanks to nerith and lucywyman!
Prabhjyot Sodhi did some initial analysis of Servo’s E-Easy bugs to show how long it is before they are closed - for a large subset of them, it was within 24 hours!
