Ian,
Schedule is here:

Alex should be starting to build our last Release Candidate which we 
sent out to UAT today (or maybe tomorrow).

I'd love to see GeoServer using the NaturalEarth dataset, but we are not 
leaving ourselves much time to fix bugs.
If you can get the code updated before Alex starts, then feel free to 
commit to svn. Brian may be able to help you by running your install 
script on the last release and verifying it works.

The QuickStart can come later in the week as I'm comfortable we are not 
likely to have any issues from running the QuickStart.
