Just reviewed the meeting minutes. Glad to see we're talking about doing better 
with communication.  I for one am sorry I can't be on IRC with any frequency, 
or even on AIM / Google Talk regularly.  The world caught up to me after years 
of trying to do so.

As far as #14294, I believe I have a fix almost ready; I just need to test it 
further.  The underlying problem seems to be that releasing objects which were 
previously referenced by an NSTableView's data source, before that table view 
has reloaded, leads to crashes, even if we're not directly using them any more 
(i.e. we know that a given group is collapsed, so we won't be displaying items 
in it; the table view can still try to talk to those items).  I'm going to 
remove the small "memory efficiency" of aggressively releasing those objects, 
opting instead to make them minimally memory intensive by clearing their 
display cache.  I need to look into a few more angles, though, to ensure this 
isn't going to add up to being costly in, for example, large IRC rooms.

I'll plan to commit at least the crash fix (with the caveat that it may 
introduce a small residual memory leak if that part of the fix isn't done yet) 
next week in advance of a planned 1.4.3 release.
