Hello World!
Yes, it is true. The first release candidate is out! Go, grab, test, report bugs: http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0-rc1
I'd like to hand my special thanks to Keith Smith, with him we were able to wrangle through the docs issue queue and fix and string freeze issues we identified all day yesterday. Even run a final spell check round to make sure everything is top-notch. This release becomes the most spell checked and the most updated with help text ever in my humble opinion. Note for the D7 maintainers: coordinate with feature patches to get them documented right there, not right before RC1 :)
I wrote docs for translators and packaged a Drupal 6.0-1.0-rc1 release for them with the templates: http://drupal.org/node/202631 RC1 is string freeze, so whatever needs modifications in the strings is generally postponed to Drupal 7. Let our translators have their happy holidays and all free time filled with Drupal 6 work, so foreign language users can enjoy Drupal 6 localized right when it is released.
We still have critical bugs left in the queue. This also means that we have gone with open critical bugs, so strictly speaking, this RC will surely not be the final release. However, the move from beta to RC means that translators will be at work and that we will be more strict in what's accepted. Please note that when we fix whatever small looking bug, we might introduce any number of new bugs, as it happened to us multiple times. So let's concentrate on the critical bugs, and accept the fact that there will be a release after Drupal 6, which will welcome your improvements.

Hope this becomes a nice pre-christmas package to all.
