Okay, I tagged 1.8rc1 on Sunday and announced it on Monday, just like planned.
So far it looks like rc1 is reasonable stable. Ilor fixed some crashes that were
left in the lobby last night. Basically I have the impression that we don't need
another release candidate. Because of this, this is my schedule for tagging 1.8:

* Make sure to commit anything you have left for 1.8 till Wednesday, 24th March,
12:00 GMT.
* After that point of time I (and everyone of you) will concentrate on testing
things to make sure that things behave fine. Please do *NOT* commit any changes
to trunk afterwards till I tagged 1.8 unless explicitly talking to me about them
in IRC. I plan to tag and package the tarball at 12:00 GMT on Thursday, 25th 
March.
* After I tagged 1.8 I will send a mail to the dev-ml regarding how to continue
from here on. In general the plan is to leave trunk open for 24 hours longer for
commits that eg change strings but are required in both, trunk and branches/1.8.
After this I will branch trunk off into branches/1.8 and trunk is open again for
new features (expect this some time on Saturday).
* If testing of the tagged 1.8 goes well I plan to announce it on April 1st.
This way the packagers got one week to create the binaries and test them.

If there is anything that should be taken into consideration, please mail me or
ping me in IRC about them ASAP. If you encounter any blocker bug, make sure that
it is reported and marked 'blocker'.

Cheers,
Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic
