Time has come for a release. This also means the time has come to figure out what *doesn't* go in the release -- a far more realistic look at it than trying to pick what does (since "everything" is such a common answer).
In order to help answer this question, I'd like to have an IRC meeting next week. I've picked two dates, and two times. I'm in favor of the first two for both, but will take feedback on it. Tuesday, Jan 22nd Thursday, Jan 24th 11AM Eastern / New York time 4PM Eastern / New York time The former makes it hard for our Australian friends to attend, while the latter makes it possibly somewhat harder for our European friends to attend (though admittedly, not so bad as 11AM is for the aussies). If you can't make one day or the other, or prefer one time over the other, please say so. On Thursday, I'll round up all the responses and announce which day/time the meeting will be at. Based on past experience, the meeting will probably be about 1.5 hours long. My hope is that we can clean up the ticket list, and target a first RC in mid February. (I push it out that far because there are still a number of outstanding features that are important, in my opinion, to the release -- we can work it out more during the meeting.) This is also a call for people to start making tickets/patches available for any features that need to be in 2.6 from their point of view: after the meeting, the 2.7 release will become the default milestone for new tickets barring some overriding factor. (This doesn't mean that you can't get things in after that, but they're much less likely to be considered release blockers.) So, if you have things you're sitting on, get them out there! Looking forward to hearing your preferred dates/times...
