If Smooth Operator 2 is ready for 1.4, I'd be quite happy to see it added. I don't see a bugs list at the bottom of SO2's wiki page anymore; does that mean all the known bugs are fixed? If it's not known to be ready, we can add it in a near-future release. No need to add extra stresses to getting 1.4 out the door this week. Cheers, Evan p.s. Yes, this email from 10/2009 has been flagged in my one of my inboxes that long. Yes, that's where I am. Yes, I'm working towards inbox-zero at which point I'm going to do better! :)
