</span>thanks Nyall for your reply. I meant in fact to revive that thread,<br>
thanks for digging it out.<br>
So if I understand correctly we are aiming at:<br>
* feature freeze around May<br>
* release around July<br>
or:<br>
* wait until ready?<br>
I love cleanups, but of course they are never really finished: do we<br>
have a specific goal, i.e. a minimum set of tasks to be finished before<br>
freezing? Could we set some of the issues [0] as blockers?<br>
Sorry to bother, but I believe making the whole process more transparent<br>
to developers, users, and donors will help us going ahead smoothly.<br>
All the best, and thanks for thoughts.<br>
