Due to summer vacations, it has been hard to get everything reviewed, but things are nonetheless moving forward reasonably well. It is still necessary to decide upon a release date. Discussion: the end of August might be feasible but would be rushed; if we want to give ourselves more time, should we aim for September, or closer to the Summit? | ||
