I'm a fan of giving it a week or two breather and focusing on updating drivers, documentation, etc, and then merging it all in mid-august. I don't think there's any need to delay things a month, but if we have eager hands (Peter Jeremy, Peter Wemm?) waiting to update drivers given a bit of documentation, now is the time for them to start looking at the wiki and figuring out what they're missing. BTW, what do you (Ed) think of uploading the patch for one of the drivers to the wiki and annotating the diffs? Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
