Hi all!
One of the key, oft-proven principles of Open Source development is "Release Early, Release Often". This is important because it makes it easier for other people to help you.
I think for our Google Summer of Code students, it will be vital for their learning about Open Source processes to go through at least a couple releases, so they can see how this works in practice.
I know it's a bit different from what we're trained in school to do; in school you have a due date and you (in theory) work on your assignment in secret from other students, and turn it in at the end. Open Source is very different; it's like you take your half-finished assignment to the clubhouse and trade answers with everyone else, and the more you cross-check with each other, the more likely everyone is to get a perfect score. ;-)
Anyway, with the 0.42 release wrapping up, we're at a point where we're ready to integrate work from the Google Summer of Code students.
Michael, David, Greg, and Matthew, can each of you report in on where you are in your work, how we can help you, and what you might be able to add to CVS within the next week or so?
(Also, if you have any questions about getting access to or using CVS, please just ask and we'll get you set up.)
Thanks, Bryce
