Oh, yeah, Friday the 13th...  Is that, perhaps, why my comments from
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00084.html> didn't make it
in? ;-)

Let's try this again:

Most of the packages above have been reviewed:
- ploticus: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00028.html>
- tclcl: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00036.html>
- rxp: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00042.html>
- dx: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-12/msg00097.html>
- emacro: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00050.html>
- dhcp: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00045.html>
- tree: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-12/msg00265.html>
- sgml-base: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00047.html>
  - and it may have been pulled by the original proposer
- ccrypt: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-12/msg00288.html>
- boxes: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-01/msg00261.html>

apache is an update of an existing package - does it need a review or
votes?

I believe I voted for the three packages above...  This should bring the
number of votes for otcl and TeXmacs to 3.

The packages below have no hold-ups.  What's holding them up? ;-)

> Package: aspell-pl 0.50.2-1  [2004-01-30]

BTW, the last two above are dictionaries for an existing package -- should
they need votes?  Is there a way to mark them as vote-exempt, but still
needing reviews?

> Package: TeXmacs 1.0.3.2-2  [2004-02-01]

These now have 3 votes each (counting mine), and they have no other
hold-ups.

I thought I voted for this, but guess not...  This now has my vote
(bringing the total to 3).

These have been on the PPL for ages with no activity.  Should there be a
timeout?
