  PLIP 171 - KSS / Azax to Plone
  PLIP 172 - Wiki syntax support for all content
  PLIP 173 - OpenID support
  PLIP 174 - More configurable and reusable i18n features
  PLIP 179 - Improved commenting infrastructure

Thank go to everyone who was involved in the development of those
bundles - the result of their work is going to make Plone 3.0 an awesome
release.

The remainder of the Plone 3.0 time-line looks like this:

  - September 25: framework team finished reviewing bundles
  - October 8: final verdict for all bundles
  - November 30: first beta release
  - January 22: first release candidate
  - March 12: release

During the next couple of weeks the framework team will review all
submitted review bundles. A first review is not final: the framework
team may have suggestions for improvement that make a bundle acceptable
for merging. The window for making and reviewing those improvements ends
on October 8.

During this phase we will be making alpha release with the accepted and
merged bundles.
