That sounds like a plan. I have done some refactoring and other changes, so I will wait until after tomorrow's release to commit. Hopefully in this next development cycle we will be up and running with a new package system.
The changes so far are (1) the first steps of the Parenscript package system and (2) internal and external changes to symbols. Here is the darcs changelog entry:
Changed the names of many functions and macros to get rid of the symbols with "js" in them--its not Javascript, it's Parenscript! Most of those symbols were renamed with "script" replacing "js".
Also changed the main compilation interfaces to use the function COMPILE-SCRIPT and the macro SCRIPT from JS-COMPILE and JS respectively.
Additionally, the first steps of the package system are included (with the addition of a the SCRIPT-PACKAGE and COMPILATION-ENVIRONMENT classes). These are integrated into the current compiler, though they probably break a few "traditional" serialization methods, specifically because macro and special form names are stored as symbols rather than strings and EQL comparisons are used rather than STRING-EQUAL comparisons of the strings.
I have also split parser.lisp into parser.lisp and macrology.lisp. Parser.lisp contains mechanisms for parsing Parenscript given an input s-expression while macrology.lisp contains language definitions that make use of the parsing mechanisms.
All tests now pass, though the documentation has gone slightly out of date with the symbol renaming. This will be fixed shortly. More tests and functionality need to be added to make the current Parenscript compatible with the older semantics (as dicussed, comparing macro/special form names based on their string values is the main thing).
Looking forward to the release. We should probably 'tag' the darcs repository when you build the new release.

Hello everyone,
I've added a description of the new ParenScript functionality to the documentation, and last Friday improved the whitespace-reducing code in the tests so that now everything that's supposed to pass passes. I think there's been enough changes now that a new release is due. I'm going to make a tarball and put it online this Friday. If there are any problems with what's in the darcs repository or you want something to go into this release, let me know.
