Folks,

I have prepared a preliminary page to help keep track of 1.7 planning at:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ReleasePlan17

If you have a substantial work item you want to complete for deployment in
1.7 please note it in the release plan with your name.  This is also an
excellent time to fix some bugs, so feel free to review the open bug list.

Best regards,
