Personally I'm not in a hurry to finalize a new release. That's mostly 
because I would like to concentrate on the contribution process for now 
and make sure it's being accepted and the kinks worked out. Once we 
start looking at release issues there will be a whole new set of issues 
that I'd like to separate from the main contribution process.

I agree with this goal.

I'm a bit hesitant on that one.

Obviously. Having the above as requirements for a release makes little 
sense.

Sounds good. Give it a shot. Pick a package, work through the comments, 
ask questions and see how people like the result. I recommend taking a 
package that isn't too big and that fits your interests.

Fancy. It stands for fancy.
