This time through, one thing I would like to see us do differently is be a little more organized about coordinating the packaging and release notifications. Last time the notices went out prior to many of the packages being produced, but I think it's well within our capabilities to get the packages generated first, and I figure users will appreciate that. This'll require us to hold off for a few days on the announcement though, while folks create the packages. It would probably also be wise to have a few people test packages before we post them. I'd also like to adopt a naming convention for the packages so it's clearer what's different from one package to another.
So, how about this for process:
- Generate offical tarball.
- Post it on Sourceforge
- Announce to Inkscape-Devel
- Wait 3 days (I'd like this to be time based)
- Announce everywhere else in the world ;) (Anyone know where we can
get a blimp?)

I like this process. Let's plan on doing this.
Btw, I just closed the other XML editor bug - I removed what appears to be an unnecessary assert that's getting hit; behavior seems correct with it removed.
And with the bug that jceuppens fixed and mrdocs verified, we're down to 5 critical bugs. If we can get 2 more closed, we're ok to establish the release branch and generate the official tarball.
Has anyone had a chance to bang on the app for a while to make sure there aren't other issues we've overlooked?
