Howdidlydoo,
I'm feeling impulsive lately. How about shooting for a 1.0 release?
I know some people are already in favour (hi Brian :-), so I'm particularly probing for the opinion of the other side (hi Helmut :-)
From my end there are a lot of good omens for an August 27 release:
It will be the one-year anniversary of the first public mention [1] of SLIME. (Time really flies!)
It will be my birthday. (*)
I'll be starting a new job, and be really busy for a while.
How do the tea leaves look for you guys?
Cheers, Luke

(*): How sad is it that I apparently spent my 25th birthday hacking Emacs? :-)
