Are we talking days, weeks or months before this 7.5/7.7 split? I've got a few non-core items that I think I (or others) need to address before 7.6:
1. Autodocs: there are a number of modules and or functions that aren't documented well or at all (the readline and termcap stuff comes to mind). Also, one of the biggest complaints about the modref is that there are so few examples. If everyone could just take an hour or two to document or expand the documentation for a few functions, it would be a great help.
2. Modules: is there a general feeling about how big a deal external modules are going to be for 7.6? Do we need to test the procedures out more, and have documentation about how developers/end users go about creating and installing them? Should I try to finish my "module grab and install" code? The "server side" of this is almost finished, but the client end is barely started. Anyone want to help out with this?
