Johan, would you be willing to hammer on getting 'make distcheck' to be passing 100% clean? Last I checked it was pretty close but there's a few warnings and other cleanups of the sort you like to tackle.
Are there any changes under way for the in-app tutorials or other documentation included in the tarball? If not, I'd like to call these tasks final on the 22nd so translators that want to work on them can do so safely.
Josh, thanks for providing status on the About Screen contest, aside from any fixes to the image itself, and adding the svg to trunk, are there any other follow-up tasks we'll need to track for the release?
Release_notes seems to have not received very many edits the last few months. Ryan Lerch, Tavmjong and suv (and anyone else who'd like to pitch in), can I task you three with combing through the Release Notes and ensuring they cover all features added in the last 6 months or so? Also, please give some attention to what should be said in the Known Issues section.
Liam, you've been very active in development on the experimental branch, would you mind establishing a new Release_notes page in wiki for the 0.92 work, and listing there the features you've been working on, as those features get merged to trunk? Having the 0.92 changes documented early will both set us up with good habits for 0.92, and help us make decisions about cherrypicks for 0.91 going forward.
In the past we've named someone as Translation Coordinator to act as a contact point for translators and updating the inkscape.pot file. Jazzy Nico, you've been most active in this area lately, would you mind serving in this role for 0.91?
Josh and I will act as release wardens for this release.
