Re: XFT fonts

Somebody[TM] to put the question to XEmacs Review, to make sure that there aren't more than one or two reviewers actively opposed (which isn't appropriate for me to do since I'm not a proponent of an immediate release). 2. Somebody[TM] to write the short blurb for the announcements (same caveat applies). Basically this amounts to saying why this release is happening now. 3. Somebody[TM] to edit CHANGES-beta into a proper NEWS file (which I won't have time for until at least late March -- even a halfway job will require 1-2 man-days, and a good job might take twice that). 4. Assuming I am going to do the admin work (eg, rolling releases, caring for our web and net infrastructure, and helping to answer questions and fix bugs), I need to know the proposed release date about a month in advance for personal planning purposes, because my time is *really* tight until late March. The work to finish 1-3 has to happen before we can release, but for now we only need some idea of who probably could do them. Only 4 needs to happen more or less immediately, and that only if we're willing to have me do the work mentioned. I personally don't have any reservations about doing the admin stuff mentioned, as long as there's enough enthusiasm for the release that tasks 1-3 get done. Oh, and while the work described above really ought to be done by Reviewers, if current non-reviewers want to step up, it's easy enough to appoint new reviewers. :-) Steve _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
