After two previous reviews, the list is now down to 44 issues. I've included a snapshot of the list (sorted by component) below. If you are the reported or maintainer for one of the issues below, please take a moment to ensure the issue is up-to-date.

He says that his rules and criteria (to recognize homologies, polarize them and run the deviation rule) are nothing more but heuristic principles. Miss Bennett from California out there (Duodeviginti-Thread)! You probably know what a heuristic principle is. But I think it includes some point of subjective judgement (greek heureka=I see, I understand). Archimedes ran through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Heureka!" I have found (it)! That word is the aorist (or perfect past) tense of the Greek verb heurisko, meaning to find out, to discover. heuristic, however, comes from that verb indirectly through the derived adjective heureteos, discovered, in its superlative form, heuristos i.e. most/very discovered. The three modern meanings I have found for heuristic are: 1) relating to a usually speculative formulation serving as a guide in the investigation or solution of a problem. 2) relating to an educational method in which learning takes place through discoveries that result from investigations made by the student; 3) relating to a computer-based problem-solving technique in which the most appropriate solution of several found by alternative methods is selected at successive stages of a program for use in the next step of the program. I think Hennig had the first definition in mind, but I tripped over the word "speculative" . In the interests of precision, I looked up the definition of "speculate" which is "to engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence", and merged it with the definition of heuristic, and I got: relating to a formulation serving as a guide in the investigation or solution of a problem, which involves a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence. That's where the subjectivity comes in, when one chooses an approach, a particular course of reasoning, even if there is no conclusive evidence to support that choice of approach. Practically speaking, does this mean that Hennig was suggesting use of his methods to provide a starting point for what, hypothesis formulation?
