This is indeed a subject worth taking another look at now. I know
there have been quite a few "alpha-blockers" that have been addressed
in the last months. Perhaps the developers should re-assess where the
project is at WRT an alpha-release?
Events like Google Summer of Code are awesome for Haiku, but I have
this feeling that it will distract from an alpha release for several
more months.
In case there's interest, Philippe St-Pierre put together an
alpha-release plan concept last month on his blog:

Is it time to start discussing the "countdown" tasks?
