Heads up. The weather report indicates a feature freeze on Sat 2002-Dec-14 at 20:00 GMT (12:00 PST, 15:00 EST, 21:00 CET), leading to a release on Wed 2002-Dec-18. So if you have any feature changes that you want to get into 0.0.9 (and it isn't too destabilizing), please commit them before Saturday.
Sometime between now and then, I'll compile a list of changes since 0.0.8. This release will go out even if the tinderbox isn't completely green, because I don't want to delay it any further, but I would greatly appreciate any improvements in that area.
