Inkscape 0.47 on the horizon (Call for help)
Hey All,
I forgot to post to the user and translator lists because I was too excited. :)
I think we closed out the last of the blocker bugs today!
So, will people please help ensure that the release notes are up to date? I'm headed there in just a minute to document my latest changes. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47
Regarding PR, I am going to continue with what was started here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning047 If you are an inkscape user who wants to contribute, even if you can't program, this is the perfect way to give back to the community. Please help us flesh this out and refine it.
Packagers, please package up Pre3 if you have not already done so as a practice run... and honestly, I think it would be safe to plan a release for next week (between Monday the 5th and Friday the 9th), provided packages are available and no new issues arise.
Any objections to this proposed plan? Any thoughts on if releasing on a specific day of the week will get more notice?
Oh, and translators... please get any updates submitted asap. Thanks!
Cheers, Josh

Just a heads-up... there may be a few days delay in creating a pre3 Mac package -- I'm travelling in the US for work with very little spare time. Possibly JiHo or someone else could produce one in the meantime. Otherwise I will do it as soon as possible.
For the same reason, I won't be able to properly look at the issue with Python extensions on Snow Leopard until I return to Australia next weekend and have access to a 10.6 machine.
Cheers, Michael

Note that Ubuntu is in beta freeze now.

Good, because compiling 47 on Xubuntu is a bear, with lots of missing libraries. When can we expect a deb file?
Maybe I should have stuck with Slackware!

Hint, have the source repos enabled in synaptic. From the command line: sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape
Definitely not a bear.
