gives us about a month (till the end of September) for final testing, bug
reporting, fixing, updating translations and other related tasks - the last
two are to be used by translators to update the MC translation. I hope that
everyone interested will participate in this process so that we can finally
release a new version.
I am currently watching this Google tech talk:

================================
April 19, 2007 Release Management in Large Free Software Projects - Martin
Michlmayr (Debian)
ABSTRACT: Time based releases are made according to a specific time interval,
instead of making a release when a particular functionality or set of
features have been implemented. This talk argues that time based release
management acts as an effective coordination mechanism in large volunteer
projects and shows examples from seven projects that have moved to time based
releases: Debian, GCC, GNOME, Linux, OpenOffice, Plone, and X.org.
