Hey Ken,

Nice progress... glad to see you're still at it!

Greg: I know you mentioned holding 3.3 in -devel until the plugin ports 
could be updated... is there anything happening, or likely to for that 
matter?  Ganymede will be upon us in no time and I for one would like to 
see the ports get a little closer to "catch ye monkey" rather than 
losing round.

I don't know how people would feel about setting a target date and those 
which aren't ready for 3.3 could be reassigned as requiring 3.2; not a 
ideal solution by any means; but nor is having the ports tree stuck on 
3.2 perpetually.

I use a very limited set of plugins and those which I do use are all 
installed via update sites, so my actual experience with the plugin 
ports is about nil... perhaps someone closer to those projects might 
have a more enlightened view.

Cheers all,

Mike.
