+    <p><b>December 7, 2004:</b> Jonathan Thornburg is organising a <a
+    href="design-walkthrough.html">Carpet Design Walkthrough</a>,
+    which will take place December 13 to 15 at the AEI and will be
+    broadcast via the accessgrid and/or telephone.</p>
+
+    <p><b>Sepbember 18, 2004:</b> There is now a new repository for
+    the development version of Carpet.  This repository is managed by
+    <a href="http://darcs.net/">darcs</a> instead of <a
+    href="https://www.cvshome.org/">CVS</a>.  Darcs has a number of
+    advantages, such as being able to use it while offline, or keeping
+    some changes to yourself while developing.  This development
+    version is <a href="get-carpet-darcs.html">publicly available</a>,
+    and we encourage you to <a
+    href="work-with-darcs.html">contribute</a>.  Note that the stable
+    version of Carpet is still distributed via CVS.</p>
+
+    <p><b>August 24, 2004:</b> The version of Carpet in the CVS
+    repository is now stable.  That means that this version will see
+    no substantial further development.  One of its main goal is to
+    not change, so that parameter files continue to work unchanged
+    with identical results.  We will continue to correct errors that
+    we find in this version of Carpet; however, if this would
+    necessitate major changes, and there is a work-around, then this
+    might not happen in the interest of stability.</p>
+
+    <p><b>July 31, 2004:</b> Carpet seems to have reached a point
+    where it is stable enough to be useful for at least some projects.
+    Consequently, people expressed the wish to have a version of
+    Carpet which is stable and sees no disrupting development.  The
+    idea is to have two "branches" of Carpet: a stable version for
+    production use, and a development version which might not be as
+    stable.  We plan to make the split in about three weeks.  The
+    discussion about this is held on the mailing list; your input is
+    welcome.</p>

     <p><b>April 7, 2004:</b> Up to now, all Carpet thorns have been
     living in a single arrangement for Cactus.  This caused problems,
     because stable thorns, development thorns, and outdated thorns
