Priorities would be nice but people will still end up working on
things that they don't like (which is what I'd like to avoid, even for
myself)

I would suggest that people pick a few items from the list and work on
them. In two months we can review the situation and see how far we've
got, how much is left and how feasible it'd be to make a final release
sometime in late June. If there's an item that nobody wants to work
on, tough luck. This is open-source after all and what we do, we do it
for fun.

In other words, follow time-based releases (a là Gnome) instead of
feature-based releases. I've never been too fond of time-based
releases because you can never tell what will be in the release but on
the other hand, it makes it much easier for developers to know when to
stop adding new features... :)

I as an admin, am getting these emails. But do you really need to? I
mean, it's not that I mind giving you admin privileges but I was
wondering why you'd like to see them... I can tell you that these
messages say nothing exciting :)
