We now have the docs sufficiently tied in to the release mechanism that I need to lay down a CVS tag first. Has anyone got anything specifically urgent that they want committed? I'll clear my schedule for the 19th, and apply any PRs that are no-brainers. Then I'll lay down the tag for the release. I'm spending most of the 20th in the air, so won't get the chance to do anything then. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month.
