Alpha 1 is a few *weeks* away.  The release will hopefully come
shortly after the sprint at Google which is Aug 22-25.

It's time to get stuff done!  There's still a ton of work to do:

One thing not mentioned on the wiki is finding and removing all the
cruft in the code and docs that has been deprecated.  If you know of
any of these things, please add a note to the wiki.  Some common
strings to look for are:  deprecated, compatibility, b/w, backward,
and obsolete.
