DAVEM TPF Grant January, February 2013 report

(this report covers two months).

Got out of the habit of fixing bugs for the last couple of months. Spent
most of the time that I was able to devote to perl mainly doing other
stuff; in particular, pumpkining the 5.14.4 security release, and trying
to keep up-to-date with my p5p inbox, which seems to be a full-time job
these days.

Hopefully I'll be able to put lots of effort into working on 5.18 blocker
bugs for the rest of March.

Over the last 2 months I have averaged 0.5 hours per week

As of 2013/02/28: since the beginning of the grant:

 155.6 weeks
1590.8 total hours
  10.2 average hours per week

There are 109 hours left on the grant.
