An annoyingly regular 1.0.50 pep talk

[Elliot Lee <sopwith redhat com>]

	DEVELOPERS:

11 bugs closed since last time, 6 new ones listed (a couple due to the
inclusion of the 'panel' bug module in this report. Definite progress. If
people could focus on fixing remaining bugs this weekend, that would allow
translators to get final translations done ASAP.

We are starting to assemble the tarballs to be used in the release under
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-1.0.40/ - in that directory is
a TODO file listing all the packages that need to make releases. A test
release is a release with the bugs fixed, a final release is one with
bugs-found-since-test-release, docs, and translations done.

	TRANSLATORS:

Please look on the TODO list. Anything that has only a "final release"
listed is definitely in strings freeze. Things with "test & final" to be
done are not far from strings freeze either. If you want your translations
to be included in GNOME 1.0.50, you have one week to get them in CVS.

	THE LISTS:

		TODO:
ORBit - test & final releases
control-center - test & final releases
gdm - test & final releases
gnome-core - test & final release
gnome-games - test & final releases
gnome-libs - test & final releases
gnome-media - test & final releases
gnome-network - test & final releases
gnome-pim - test & final releases
gnome-utils - final release
glib & gtk+ - We'll use 1.2.5 when they come out
gtop - final release
audiofile - final release
libgtop - final release
mc - test & final releases

If I'm missing packages from the list that need upcoming releases, PLEASE
tell someone about them.
