Note(s) from the Maintainer:
==============================
Finally we completed 2008. See the no. of contributors we have now compared to last year. That speaks the volume of work you have been doing so far. And i am hoping that a much vigour work towards this project will be kept in 2009 as well.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@lists.sf.net,
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@lists.sf.net,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382
(for New Bug(s)),
