I vote we push back the release a bit (two weeks?). I had unexpected things come up that ate a bunch of my time. On 07/25/2016 03:53 PM, Andreas Mueller wrote:
Hi Olivier / all Let me know if I can help with the builds. I'm gonna start reviews and triaging and tagging this week. Mid August sounds good for a beta / RC.
It would be great if we could release in September, as that is when The Book (aka my past year) is scheduled to come out (I finished it last week). The Book uses model_selection, so having the release out before the book would be good.

Sorry for the late reply,
Before working on this release I would like to automate the wheel generation process (for the release wheels) in a single repo that will generate wheels for linux, osx and windows based on https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild
I plan to put that repo under https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn-wheels and deprecate https://github.com/MacPython/scikit-learn-wheels that we used for the OSX wheels.
There is also some issue triaging to do, it would be great to identify blocker bugs that we would like to get fixed before releasing 0.18.
We can aim to do a beta mid-August and the final release after euroscipy (first week of September).
