I am fine with doing a release sooner than later to make those bug fixes 
available to the distros.  Then we can do another in a month or so as well.  
There's not a lot of work involved in putting out a new release, and testing 
would be reduced if we would release more frequent, smaller releases.

I have created a 1.2.3 release plan up on the developer wiki:
http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Opie123ReleasePlan

Feel free to update as necessary, or volunteer for a task by adding your 
nick/name after it!

Let me know if you don't have (and need) edit access to the Wiki page.
