Some things (like plugin documentation; and maybe plugin versioning) seem like they are very important to get done before the release. Ross has done a lot on the plugins, but even if we help, what if we don't have these done before the release date? What would you guys think of postponing the release until we finish them? I don't know what would be best... There are also a lot of other issues scheduled for 0.7 that we haven't been working on. They don't seem too critical though. -- Dave Brondsema : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming http://csx.calvin.edu : student org
