I second this. I know, it's easy to second something if you're not 
willing to actually
do the dirty work, but still:-) Actually, I *am* willing to do some 
work. If there
are only one or two showstoppers: please let me know and I'll see if I 
can find time.
If someone can give me a recipe to see the problem, that is (Bill's 
description
is a bit too vague).

Ideally I would like to see 0.9 Real Soon Now, as in early next week. 
If that
happens I will delay the announcement of MacPython-2.3b1 so that PyObjC 
0.9
can be installed through the package manager. I think we have a really 
cool
combo, then, and something we can get some airplay for, to whet people's
appetite so we'll blow them away when 2.3 and 1.0 come out later.

But I'm off on a holiday after next week, and as the 2.3b1 is the first
one that's going to get exposure (and, hence, bug reports) I really 
want to
advertise it next week.

And lets try for a fast track to 1.0. Don't forget 1.0 doesn't have to 
be perfect,
after all "it's only a 1.0 release". And we shouldn't forget about 
"release
early, release often". We don't want (say) the Ruby people to come up 
with
something before us that will eat the publicity and turn us into
also-runners.
