I would like to aim the release for mid to end feb:

- I would like to get the new plugin repository going (plus some of
the other django infrastructure we are building) in place for the next
release
- It would be great to have the globe stuff from Pirmin & co incorporated
- It would be nice to have a little longer freeze so we can have it as
stable as possible
- It would be great to have teh steroids (which is a dependency anyway
for globe) and table join stuff in place for the 1.7 release.

I agree we should try to automate the release process more and I will
spend some time thinking about which parts can be automated and try to
reduce the items in the checklist that cant be automated.

If mid-end Feb is agreeable for others I will create a new checklist
and draw up the timetable for the release?

Regards

Tim
