Hi Chad,
I guess I'm in charge of it for now, but what I wanted to ask the list about, is how should we actually do the 1.7 release? With an RC right away, since we're not waiting on any new features? With a second beta? Or just wait (not too long) for all the unit tests in 1.7 to be fixed and a summary of the changes to be written and release the final 1.7?
I'd like some good advice on a decent release pattern though and then when we have a good pattern to try to follow, Chad, if you want to actually do the gem jiggery, please do.
Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention!
