Hi Eric;
All sounds great -- looks like you are in good shape for finishing
things up this week. Really great work.

We were discussing a release at the end of this week or over the
weekend. I think we should roll this in soon after that so anyone
can get it from the main trunk. I don't see any major issues with
integrating it.

How did you like the Git/GitHub experience? One thing we should push
after this release is moving over to that as the official
repository. Since you have been doing full time Git work this
summer, your experience will be really helpful. I still rely on CVS
as a bit of a crutch, but should learn to do things fully in Git.
