Hello world, we're moving forward at full speed, and it would be a pity to suddenly abrupt that, wouldn't it? As there are still many interesting patches in the queue that are almost there, and because we cranked out new stuff like crazy, I decided that it would be best to postpone the code freeze for 4 weeks. This is a one-time extension that leaves us some more time to finish some of the work that we started, and to put some more polish in place. Even with another 4 weeks, it is unlikely that all the key patches will make it into Drupal 6 so let's not waste time and keep up the steady pace of contributions (good job!). Also, keep in mind that towards the end of June, I'll be traveling a fair bit so I won't be able to review as many patches as usual. Last but not least, I'm going to give priority to those patches that were already in the works before today. Happy hacking, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

I think it's a great decision. I know I appreciate the breathing room and am pretty sure others do as well.

Ohhh, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Given what we've been able to accomplish even in the last two weeks, with another four weeks we can really make D6 kick ass. Even better, I'll be able to type properly by then so I can quit watching from the sidelines. ;) -Angie

I think it would be a good idea to post about this on the Drupal home page. It would also be good to highlight 10-20 features, patches that seem to be a priority. I am sure the commercial productivity of Drupal shops just took a hit ;-) If I can help to identify the "Key" patches please let me know. Cheers, Kieran Happy hacking,

I did some ticket gardening a while back on Aggregator related code, which is on a wiki page in the RSS & Aggregation group on g.d.o. A wiki page there may be an interesting "meta" way to surface some patches -- but getting them ahead of time and putting them on a d.o. announcement would be excellent. If you're on facebook, I also made an "event" for the Drupal 6 code freeze. I used a picture that Mike Gifford made. See http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2394189769&ref=share And, of course, July 1st is Canada Day. So let's make Drupal 6 nice and multilingual, again as Mike Gifford pointed out :P Guess that means I really have to start working on a new core install profile, although I suspect that a bunch of that will have to be tuned post-freeze.

Already working on that. Should be live on Monday. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
