I just noticed this thread on the list. I hope you guys aren't going to do a cutoff for at least a few weeks.
Now that we've backburnered for a few weeks, how are things looking? I think we'll still have sufficient time before the release to get these finalized, but I hope they're nearing a good stopping point?
However, I think the primary thing we should be trying to get out is our Summer of Code code...why can't we just launch this and then do a 0.46 for the rest...In looking at my crystal ball, it seems like all these other tasks will push our release back until after christmas...which is okay, but think it would be good to get out a release for our Summer of Code and to highlight that work...
I love all the new work, just think a quicker release here and there isn't a bad thing...

I haven't contributed code for the last few weeks, but I've done a LOT of code for this cycle in two areas, and it would be a shame for no visible results to appear in this cut:
- JS-DOM binding. This is in the midst of debugging,
and can finally give us scripting of Inkscape internals. I would at least like to be able to do in-memory scripting with this before the release.
- The export dialog. Ted added the code recently
that is needed for passing parameters from an export dialog to the Ouput extensions. It would be a shame to not have a working general-purpose export dialog, for things other than merely PNG. A first cut of the dialog already exists, and the existing PNG export has been decoupled from both its dialog and file.cpp. And of course Miklos has recently added the Cairo equivalents for PDF and PNG export. So building the bridges between would only require the typical code/test/debug/code/blah.... cycle.
I would not mind if anyone wants to hack on the export dialog to get some of this implemented. I don't really care about its appearance. I am more interested in the "under the hood" infrastructure.
Thanks, Bryce
