Hi,

We're holding a mini 'hackathon' for Velocity at ApacheCon October 9 &
10.  Henning and I will be there, though we welcome participation from
others at the con or remotely.  I'm looking forward to the focused
time together.

I'd like to challenge us to ready ourselvesfor a release right after
ApacheCon.  I've grouped the open items below.  I'll take personal
responsibility to see that issue below with a submitted patch that is
ready (or almost ready) makes it in.  Many of those are mine, anyway.

The remaining bugs are all fairly subtle.  They seem to be grouped
around escaping issues, macro issues, and error reporting issues.
With a little luck we can work through most of them.  If anyone wants
to dive into the code and work through a few, that'd be fabulous.

Two specific items we could use help on.  Anyone a Texen or DVSL guru?
VELOCITY-413 (DVSL) really needs to be fixed.  And there's a nice
Texen patch (VELOCITY-422) waiting to be added.

Cheers,

WILL
