After going over status with a bunch of folks I've decided to push our
first alpha (pre-)release date to September 1st. This will give folks
working on a couple of the trickier packages time to finish and adequately test things, give us time to finish putting together our plan for more formal testing, etc.
I'll post a list of packages which we expect to include in this first alpha release later this week or early next.
Things are looking pretty good, actually - just because I'm holding off doesn't mean you shouldn't download from CVS and try it! Just check the project status file for packages that have been ported and play away.
