I think a big point to make here is that the 1.2 release manager shouldn't
just be making one release.  Instead, he/she should be looking at a series
of releases which encompass new development during their tenure.  Only the
really big stuff (MARC, templating, Z3950, etc) which impact the way most
or all of the system works are actually scheduled in specific releases.
(Of course, this is only my take on things.)

If Jeremy isn't on the list, maybe we could set up a time to irc about it.
I'm sure that there are several people who'd love to share their own two
small units of local currency. ;)
