[mapserver-dev] 5.6 Release Schedule & Release Manager

[Steve Lime]

Hi Martin: I took care of #2936 in 5.4 and trunk. I'll let Assefa handle #2804 unless
he wants to hand it off. I don't know class groups at all.

Hi Steve & Daniel,
I would really like to see the problem described in #2936 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2936) solved on one of the next 
releases. It's a question of minutes, I think.
Maybe #2804, too? But this ticket might require more investigations 
(even though it works pretty good for me).
