Of course, the GNOME2 release itself has also been pushed back, and
we've definitely made a lot of progress.

We should discuss this. Shall we have an IRC meeting?

I'd be open to that, though it'd largely depend on who the person is.
I'm open to adding people on an individual by individual basis. I don't
think there's a particular size we need to be at (except "reasonably
small"), so anyone who will actually write a fair amount of high quality
content seems like a worthwhile addition. Do you have a specific person
/ people in mind?

Yeah, I put more time into the v0.1 release than I "had", so I need to
throttle back a little on content for a couple weeks. I'm entering end
of quarter, so time is tighter than usual. The good news is that I have
Christmas break after that and no obligations but GNOME :-)
