We've done a lot of refactoring after the 0.4.0 release and I think the package structure is in pretty good shape now. If there are things you (or anyone else) would like to improve, then it would be a good idea to do this before the 0.5.0 release. My time is extremely limited right now - and will be for a couple more weeks at least - so I won't be able to work on that front. I'd make time to help with the release process though whenever you decide to cut the release. > For graduation, I'm personally ready to kick off the process now, although > I'm not sure we'll have made it through all of the ceremony stuff before > the next board meeting (which I think is on February 20th.)

In any way we still have to do our incubator report. I could post a draft this weekend if that isn't too late. Regards, Matthias
