I haven't found any new problems with DS recently and am running out of refactoring and code cleanup ideas so I think it might be time to work on releasing DS 1.8. If anyone wants to do any last minute testing or code reviews that would be great. If nothing comes up I expect to suggest starting the release process early next week.
I'm not sure what the felix community usually does about release managers. I'd be equally happy being the release manager or leaving it to someone who has done it before. I think I don't currently have the necessary nexus permissions to release, but this should be easy to fix. many thanks david jencks
