Collateral tasks

• I reported to Peter Saint-Andre all the errors that I found in the XEPs.
• During my implementation of XEP-0033 I wrote several blog posts proposing changes in this protocol. Peter Saint-Andre will use those texts to update the protocol.
  
• Start to use Emacs to format Erlang code (emacs-mode) and commit to SVN repository (psvn).
• Start to read Joe Armstrong's new book: Programming Erlang - Software for a Concurrent World. Apply the new knowledge while programming in my GSoC tasks.
  
• Start to read GSoC gift book, Karl Fogel's Producing Open Source Software - How to Run a Successful Free Software Project. Apply the new knowledge in my ejabberd tasks.
• Continue my involvement in ejabberd as usual, which includes being active in ejabberd's forum, chatroom, mailing list and ejabberd-modules contribution SVN repository.
  
• Two travels, one of them international :)
