Pybot has a few new features: CTCP handling/sending, timer module, unhandled messages hook, and something else I probably forgot.
About Linuxconf, I have spent the last days fixing a few simple bugs introduced in 1.24r2 and in the last modules developed by Conectiva. I hope to release a Linuxconf update to Conectiva 6.0 tomorrow.
gnome-linuxconf has won a home with screenshots and everything else at http://distro.conectiva.com/projetos/45. I've also published it at freshmeat and put files to download at SourceForge.
Oh, good news I forgot to tell: for those of you that are using wxxt-linuxconf, Jack (Jacques Gelinas) has implemented the Treemenu icons into this frontend as well.
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
