Drake was considering doing the session management docs last night.  I'm
not sure what Drake's final decision was. I think this was the last core
piece that was missing an author.

Is there anything else which needs to be done for 1.2 which does not have
an author working on it?

For the 1.2 release, I don't see why we can't just duplicate the text.  If
it is just a couple sections of the document, why don't we include it
in both places.  When we move to the 2.0 system, we can put in links and
remove any redundant test.

Sounds like a good idea.  Do we have a target date for 1.2?
