Hi Fred!

a pity you and Gregory couldn't make it. It was a nice meeting... I 
participated for 1h48' even if I had to procastinate dinner with my 
parents a little.

we agreed with Richard on a release about the end of Month of May.
He will be away for  week, I will be away for a couple of days end of 
April. Later we can work on it. I will try to be available for hacking 
evenings on Mondays and Tuesday up to squash what needed.

We agreed on the following:

1) for May, set a feature freeze, so limit PR and fixes only to bug 
fixes and be careful also with bigger bug fixes
2) fix the issue about tests failing for missing file for URL checks, 
best is to have an local web server independent of network availability. 
Right now the issue is now widespread and happens also on systems with 
unrestricted network access
3) we provide for switching the website, so it can be ready for 
announces. I stated that it is ready enough, much improved than before. 
Further improvements can be done after publishing and are not blocking

Cheers,

Riccardo
