A couple of people still have small non-bugfix patches scheduled to go into CVS; please check these in over the 24 hours, or email me if you have problems. Otherwise, don't commit any more new features. If in doubt, email emacs-devel for discussion. Two exceptions: we'll allow the proced.el and rmail-mbox changes. There currently isn't any detailed schedule for the release. My hope (and I think Stefan concurs) is to have 23.1 out in about six months from now. Maybe this is optimistic; we'll see. My rough plan is to go through the bug list and finish those pertinent to both Emacs 22 and Emacs 23 first. About 2 weeks from now, I'll start the Emacs 22.3 pretest, which hopefully won't take much effort and can be completed in a month or two. Once 22.3 is released, we'll take another look at the bug count and see how soon afterwards we can start the 23.1 pretest. There are 180+ outstanding bugs, which can be browsed at the bugtracker here: http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=emacs&archive=no&version=&dist=unstable Let's get to work on these. If you need help using the bug tracker, please email me. Thanks!
