I feel it's time that this topic - when the next 'release' will occur,
could be broached.  What do the folk currently doing the source code
integration see as issues which need to be resolved before the next
release occurs?  Could you project for folk your vision of the
time table for lynx?  Is there specific bugs or features you are awaiting?
How will you be determining when it is 'time' to cut a new release?

Anyone on this list familar with maintaining a bug database?  It seems like
it would assist in determining the fitness of a release if there were some
way to determine the scope of outstanding problems.
