Hi there,

it is a time honoured tradition that drupal.org is updated to the
first release candidate of a new Drupal release as soon as this is
available.

The first RC of D6 is now available, now when is that update going to
happen?

The answer is unfortunately: Not very soon. The reason is not the
release candidate but the multiple dependencies that drupal.org has.

The most well known is probably the project module and it's many
friends.

However, there are also other dependencies of which I can't find a
D6-ready release or some attempt at one (image.module and simplenews
for example).

Project* has it's own roadmap on the D6 update here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/6180

While I am not entirely happy with the order of the items (I'd
obviously prefer to have points 10 and 11 at the top), there is at
least something to look at. Also, people who would like to see d.o
updated do know how they can help. Unfortunately, there aren't that
many people who are eager to help.

What I am trying to do is to establish a timeline of when d.o could
be updated. So I'd like the maintainers (or other
knowledgable parties) to speak up and tell me what their guestimates
for updates to D6 are:

- - project
- - project_issues
- - versioncontrol
- - views
- - image
- - image_gallery
- - image_attach
- - simplenews
- - lists
- - feature

Cheers,
	Gerhard
