Re: Re: a couple of quick questions

That's largely what we've been doing.  I've been working in my own branch
filling in 2.4 features; MB has started doing the same.  We can create
additional, personal, branches for developers that want to start coding in
2.4.  I'm concerned about problems when we merge, but the (now, monstrous!)
test suite will help identify problems early.

My generally release practice has been to run the release script (takes
about 20 minutes to build a release ... mostly documentation), do a quick
verify of it, then label the code.  I used to label, then build, and had
some surprises hit me during the build/verify.

I should update the contributor's guide to spell out how to perform a build;
I've recently checked in the necessary build.xml script (cause I kept losing
it!).

Anyway, last message for a while, I'm off to Sugarloaf/USA!
