OK, then I'm going to assume we have consensus on this. So again, we released on Jan 9th, 4 months (nominally) would give us a release date of May 9th. We need a few weeks for testing and bug fixing, say time enough for a couple beta iterations, so let's set a tentative date of April 9 to branch, (just under 7 weeks from now). As of right now I see 71 issues marked 0.8. I haven't been through all of them, some are trivial or have patches attached, but some are no doubt unrealistic considering the time-line. For any issues you're championing, please take some time over the next couple of weeks to make sure the ones marked fixfor-0.8 match what you can accomplish before we branch. Is that reasonable to everyone? -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
