We have a support page on Wiki 
(https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OFED+Support).
Each issue should be written there and if there is a patch it should be 
pointed too.

There was an open discussion in SC06 about stable releases (e.g. 1.1.x) 
and if/when they should be done.
My opinion is that we do need stable releases and we should decide when 
we do them, and which companies are ready to participate in their QA. QA 
of such a release should be short since it includes only showstopper bug 
fixes and no new features.

OFED 1.1 should stay in svn since all the build scripts and extra files 
we get (e.g. MPI) are already in svn.
Its OK if this svn is moved to another server (just let us know when 
this is done and what is the new server name)

OFED 1.2 will be based on git.
