Highlights

     * Chandler: To merge or not to merge, that is the question [for the 
branch]. We won’t try for the m5 milestone until the branch is merged 
and return to QA acceptability.

     * Plans: Floss Usability Sprint (Mimi OOF M/T/W. Friday: 
presentation for California Digital Library. Extensibility discussions. 
A ton of 0.7 planning tasks.

Applications:

     * Progress : Progress on all m5 tasks. Branch is now only a couple 
of bugs away of being merged.
     * Plan : Merge branch in trunk. Finish all m5 tasks.
     * Problems : m5 delayed as long as we don’t have the branch and 
trunk merged. Performance went really down with recent addition. Need 
to nail why before 0.6 out.
