our current project* roadmap to 6.x is here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/6180
as you can see, much still remains to be done. we could shortcut some of that stuff and start the port to 6.x sooner, but i think that will only make things harder for derek and i in the long run, and i'd prefer not to do that.
both of us have communicated our need for assistance in getting project* 6.x compat (multiple times on the mailing list, in IRC, etc), mentioning that it could hold up a D6 release -- but sadly, few have stepped up to help. on the bright side, there has been good recent progress in the views conversion.
i'd say it's theoretically possible to have everything done in 4 weeks -- but realistically, unless we get some funding, or more people pitching in now, it's not gonna happen.

Hello all,
traditionally, one of the requirements to release a major Drupal release, is us eating our own dogfood at drupal.org. That is, we always maintained a tradition of testing a major Drupal release on drupal.org itself.
As a first release candidate is eminent, I want to reach out and inquiry about the status of the contributed modules that we use on drupal.org, and the project/issue related modules in particular.
Other notable modules that drupal.org depends on are the image module, the image gallery module, the simplenews module, the port stemmer module, the code filter module, and the CVS integration module.
What is the likelihood of these modules being production-ready in the next 2-4 weeks? It would be great to get a status update from their maintainers. We should start a concentrated effort to get this modules in prime condition relatively soon. If not, they risk being release blockers.
Thanks,
