Agenda:
-------
GNOME 1.4 press release:
  * It is looking good
  * Leslie will incorporate feedback and send out revised draft to 
    1.4 release team and board of directors

Whether we need an RC2:
  * Docs and l10n improvements since RC1 can go in
  * Code changes since RC1 need approval
  * They should write a bug report explaining the change and why it is
    crucial to make this change.  They should then mail it to 
    gnome-1 4-release-team gnome org
  * libxml - DV plans to support both the old and new parser, and
    will hold off until 1.4.1
  * Michael wants a few bonobo fixes to go in
  * Karl wants Nautilus bugs 7491 and 6218 fixed
  * Nobody present feels these bugs are showstoppers, although few
    people have any opinion on the issue at all
  * We should try to get it fixed soon however
