We can't give a proper answer right now, which should give you an 
indication that we are not actively planning any release. When we can 
add enough value to justify a whole 0.1 increment, and we can decide 
what exactly 1.0 means (finished? perfect?) then we'll release.

But don't hold your breath.

Never being an upstream person, I was under the impression that src was 
binary, cause well its just python. The only exception is the 
translations, and those are built and installed by the dist-utils 
script. I think this is not the same as setuptools, and it is the way 
ubuntu does it, which is the only distro package system I have had any 
experience with.
