This is a first-of-the-month comment, not so much an April Fool's one. I'm 
intending to send out discussions on 1 May, 1 June, 1 July, etc. for the rest 
of the year.

I'd like to make sure we get more releases out in 2018 and am willing to step 
up as a release manager for some of that. In particular, I'd like to see if we 
can target June 9th (Avogadro's birthday) and Oct. 23rd as release days (e.g., 
2.0 will be released on 10/23).

It would be nice to release a 1.91 soon. There have been over 265 commits since 
Dec. 2016 when 1.90 was released.

I created a thread about a roadmap for 2.0 features/projects here:
https://discuss.avogadro.cc/t/avogadro-2-0-roadmap/2619

In particular, I'm personally working to finish up the Python 
commands/workflows and auto-optimize force field support. This should be done 
by May 1st.

I'd like to know if others are willing to help - I have entered a pile of 
possible tasks into GitHub - many are "good first issues" and can be tackled 
fairly easily:
