Plus, with regards to timing. Do we want to release before or after the upcoming SciPy conference in July? Depending on who will be there (unfortunately, I won't be), we might want to wait for after that conference to take advantage of any activity then. Also, I know I have repeatedly stated that I won't be a release manager, but I am going to put together a wish-list of mine for what I would like to see for the next release. Maybe with that as a base, we can come up with a final set of goals for v1.1.0 and determine how much time it would take to get there? Ben Root
