I feel a one or two week slide might be warranted. Until we get the alpha3 blockers fixed we can't really move forward anyways. Plus a one or two week slide will give the translators a few more days to get caught up. Trac ticket 7203 seems like it is behind the failure of the recently updated curl build to have not included support for SSL. I switched to a Haiku build from a couple months ago and curl-7.21.4 built just fine and included openssl support. With current Haiku builds this is failing. So I've marked #7286 as being blocked by #7203, and bumped it up to blocker. As for getting ready, I guess work could be started on the alpha3 wiki pages, there's been a lot of changes since alpha2 and it would be nice to have them summarized. -scottmc
