I agree.

>Please, what are the plans for alpha1 and up to final 2.0?

Featurewise I think we have what we need for alpha1. I have some further
tests I want to perform on my own applications and I hope others also
try the version in CVS on some real world application and applets.

Apart from the code we need

- A license.
- There are still some bugs in the installer. (not including the latest
  bugs I introduced in pa3+4+5. I now know what caused them)
- Update some of the text files: NEWS and README.

Before beta I would like to:

- Fix some of the bugs when running CPython's test suite.
- Support the ucnhash and unicodedata modules.

>From my side I should finish clarify the cache issue. 

Right. I don't think it can get into alpha1 but the hooks to manage the
the caches should certainly go in before we enter beta.

Good. I would like to get broader feedback on the reloading issues, so
maybe some version of java reloading can go into 2.0-final marked as
experimental. I would also like Guido's view on how pythonic he consider
our java reload support to be.
