Extrapolating from that schedule, the 2.18 feature freeze would be
somewhere around February 2007. That should not be a problem. The
biggest issue before gnome-hearts could be included in gnome-games is
that it relies on Lua for the AI scripting. I want to replace Lua with
Python for gnome-hearts 0.2 so this issue should go away by itself.

Now I have a target date to go on :-)
