We have had discussions some of us to go for a sprint in end week of October, probably in Germany, where we would focus on clean-up work/refactoring and also to discuss plans for a 1.1 release (scope, content, time). The sprint plan need to be discussed in the upcoming week with a sprint announcement going out. _My guess_ is that the JIT of course would also be involved in the scope of that sprint (clean up/refactoring) and that the 1.1 release would also contain results from such a clean up. Some of the reasons for the "silence" in the JIT area is partly because of people having vacation and post-eu sabbaticals, we have been going to conferences such as (Europython, Dyla) to do talks about the JIT to get input as well as focusing on getting external functions, RPython and PyPy to work more smoothly (which was feedback from users and would be pypy-users at Europython in Vilnius). But yes - we might have been better at expressing this. If i might ask - what are the use cases you are thinking about when talking about the JIT (and/or the JIT generator?).
