[ros-dev] MyReactOS: A Proof of Concept

[Aleksey Bragin]

This place is our test-location (as Victor pointed out in the email)  
for a newer, community-oriented ReactOS project website, which would  
indeed be on reactos.org domain, integrating all of our existing  
services, without the need to re-register user accounts, and saving  
all forum, wiki and bugzilla entries.

This is a great work, I hope niski and danny have more time and  
motivation to finish the practical aspects of the new website.


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
