Thus, we're currently each going through our short list of things to finish 
off before cutting a new release.  If there are any outstanding patches 
which we haven't either:
  - applied successfully, or
  - explicitly rejected,
please remind us so they can make this release.  
Also, if you're sitting on patches which we haven't yet received, now would 
be an ideal time to send them in.  (For example, I think there are a few 
pending translations out there.)
The LinuxWorld Expo starts two weeks from today, and we don't want anyone's 
work to get left out of the show builds.  
Thanks,
Paul
