I've just posted the source tarball for 0.45 to sourceforge. Packagers, please create the packages from this. :-)

It's also time for us to create the release announcement for this release. Anyone interested in helping me on this?

I thought we waited for their to be actual packages for people to download? Shouldn't we put out call to packagers and get those live first before massive deluge of visits, ./'ing, etc?

Yup, a call went out last night. Might be good to personally contact packagers if there's a package you particularly want to see up before the announcement.
There's an autopackage version, and the windows packages have been good about appearing swiftly, so even if we don't have every package out there, I think we'll have enough for a release announcement.

Ok, I better get a cracking on the PR then so it can go out tonite...
I think we should definitely aim for getting new developers and add specific hooks into the PR/announcement for where we need help and where Inkscape is heading...now's the time... :)
