Assume! A date. Even if that date moves, it's a good step. Any plan
to set up a next pre-R1 milestone on trac?

Any of the optional packages dated before July 5th, 2009 may not be
configured correctly for the wchar change, with maybe a couple
exceptions that were part of the change such as gcc. So the older
ones may need to be updated.
Also it seems that something needs to be fixed with subversion/neon/libiconv:

I just saw Matt's posting on automating the building of the optional
packages, sounds great, but probably not something to hold up the
Alpha for.

Here's the old Alpha tracker wiki page, most of items voted on last

Seeing as OSS has been on that list for nearly a year now and still
not done, I'm not holding my breath, but if you can get it fixed and
into the tree on time then great.

+1 for adding Clockwerk.
There's only a few icons remaining that need updating, so if there's
anyone who's good at making icons, that has the time, here's the
tracking ticket for those:

Speaking of CDPlayer, am I the only one who isn't getting cddb data
when inserting an audio CD?

Also speaking of Pe, has anyone looked at the patch I submitted to the
Pe mailing list a couple weeks ago to fix the diff file coloring?
