  Release Schedule
  
!     Tentative future release dates (compare pep-0226) 
  
!     17-Oct-2001: 2.2 (final release)
!     10-Oct-2001: 2.2c1 (release candidate)
!     19-Sep-2001: 2.2b2
!     29-Aug-2001: 2.2b1
!      8-Aug-2001: 2.2a2
      18-Jul-2001: 2.2a1
  
  
  Release Mechanics
  
!     I'd like to experiment with a new mechanism for releases: a week
!     before every alpha, beta or other release, I'll fork off a branch
      which will become the release; changes to the branch will have to
      be approved before they can be checked in.  This is how some other
!     large projects (e.g. Mozilla) work, and I hope it will help reduce
!     the number of bugs introduced in releases at the last minute.

!     The following features are scheduled to go in; work is still
!     ongoing in defining the exact appearance of the features:
  
!     - generators (pep-0255)
!     - unification of types and classes (pep-0252, pep-0253, pep-0254)
  
      The following features are under consideration:
  
!     - a standard set API (implemented in Python for now) (pep-0218)

      There needs to be more discussion of each of these before we can
