We are hopefully about to hit a turning point and put things back on track.

The project has been completely lost and in the dark for the past few weeks,
but we are starting to find the light now.
I'm looking forward to this weekend ;)

It seems that many people want to give up the project, which would be  
a total loss of time and energy of those who have spent many hours  
and money on the project. I don't think that dismantling ReactOS  
would be a good idea at this time. Instead proceeding with Audit and  
regrouping seems to be the best scenario here. However, ReactOS needs  
better svn commit rules and proceedures. I would like to see a  
"commit team" formed to review submitted code. Maybe another SVN  
server or address that will host this code in queue until it is  
approved and merged into the main repository. That way only certain  
people have access to the SVN commit procedure.

Also, ReactOS needs to start gaining funding for its efforts. I know  
that ReactOS has held open donations in the past but I think that  
ReactOS developers need to join forces and ask for developers and  
users pay for downloads. Maybe a dollar or two per ISO. This would  
allow ReactOS to get bigger hard drives for their servers, etc...

Just some thoughts.
