I got asked an interesting question that I didn't know the answer to. Any
thoughts on the 1.0 timeline? What sort of goals are we setting for that?
I mean, the last time Slava threatened to release a 1.0 was in 2008, aiming
for 2009:

And we only have a few minor versions left to use!
Also, it occurs to me that we've yet to do a GSoC. Isn't that time
approaching soon? (This probably enters the scope of a different thread...)
