[Live-demo] Live Demo Feature Freeze in 24 hours, get your install scripts finished

[Cameron Shorter]

Judit has picked up that the Feature Freeze advertised in last week's 
press release is for Monday 7 September.
So if you need it, you can have 3 more days to get your install scripts 
in order.

This weekend, I'll work on the scripts that are already in and are stable.
