You might also want to collect a list of serious changes that you want in this release; I know I/O in C is on the list (and without it I wouldn't consider it worth releasing) but there may be others. The developers of such features ought to be on board with delivering their code before the first beta. I've started a list on the release PEP [1].
[1] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0375/ I think you could add "update json package to reflect the current simplejson version" (see http://bugs.python.org/issue4136). Also, I'm expecting that ordered dictionaries will be ready: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0372/
Thanks. I've added these items to the PEP.
I should have a PEP (and implementation) ready for alpha 2 to address the current discrepancy between contextlib.nested and actual nested with statements: http://bugs.python.org/issue5251 If you do add a reference to that bug report to the release PEP, mark fixing it as a maybe though - with the associated PEP not even written yet, I obviously still have some work to do to get the semantic change approved by Guido and the rest of python-dev.
