Okay, here's a quick scoop and status.
*) I'd like to shoot for a Feb 14th release. Names wanted. (I'm partial to the bleeding heart release, but not that partial)
You can always find some reference to a bird in it somewhere

We could name it after the following painting/painter "Valentine Cameron Prinsep" or one of his names. When people ask why we named it after a saint we can tell them we didn't, we named it after a painter. He painted the following picture.

she was having a bad hair day.
Or in a show of support for our fellow parrots:
We could call it the kakapo release or at least dedicate it to the kakapo. Not sure if everyone would think a nearly extinct parrot is a good metaphor ;-)

Or we could go with the "lovebird" release. Lovebirds are some of the smallest types of parrot. Please read more here.

*) I'm just going to get the final damn object stuff finished. It's 80% there and I should just stop wincing every time I look at objects...
This would be lovely.
*) It's time for doc patches! If folks have helpful suggestions or experiences, post a patch to docs/practical_notes.pod in a =head2 section. Not as good as a full tutorial, but better than nothing. Patch at the top so things slot in with a minimum of patch whining.
*) I'll try and patch up the docs, and I'll concentrate on the PDDs, but any help on them is greatly appreciated. *Especially* IMCC docs.
Do we need an NCI section in the IMCC.faq. If the vote is yes I do not mind knocking something up.
