+ <body>
+ <p>As the leap second scheduled for the end of June approached,
+ Bartek Rutkowski and others raised questions about how &os;
+ handled leap seconds. Leap seconds have caused serious
+ problems for other operating systems in the last few years,
+ and there was understandable concern.</p>
+
+ <p>It was reasonably pointed out that &os; had encountered leap
+ seconds before, and would be fine this time also. Still, the
+ absence of reported problems is not really a substitute for a
+ description of what to expect and how to know if a system is
+ prepared.</p>
+
+ <p>To address concerns and also provide a resource for future
+ leap seconds, several experts were harrassed relentlessly,
+ with the results compiled into a short article. Beyond merely
+ allaying fears about what might happen, this article received
+ positive responses on the web for how it demonstrated &os;'s
+ maturity and preparedness.</p>
+
+ <p>Great thanks for their patience and expertise are owed to
+ Peter Jeremy, Poul-Henning Kamp, Ian Lepore, Xin LI, Warner
+ Losh, and George Neville-Neil.</p>
+ </body>
+

+ <task>
+ <p>Compile other short articles on things that &os; does
+ really well. Of particular interest are features that make
+ life easier for sysadmins, or how problems on other systems
+ are dealt with or even made non-problems on &os;.</p>
