This is my idea for the coming month(s). If you look through the differences between Pike 7.6 and 7.7 there are by now quite a few, so a release of Pike 7.8 should really be done. I can think of the following issues
- Review of GTK2 interface and implementation. - Review of SQLite unicode interface. - The multiset sprintf bug. - Merge GLUE changes from AIDO.
I realize that most of the workload will probably end up with us in Linköping, but any help is of course appreciated. We aim at rewriting the jukebox client (http://pike.ida.liu.se/about/pike/jukebox1.png) with GTK2 as part of the review. I would like to see the folloing applications tested for regressions with the Pike 7.8 branch
- Roxen WCM - Caudium - sTeam - AIDO - gjuke
This is something that anyone can start doing right now.
For the pike releases we make from pike.ida.liu.se I suggest that we remove the following modules (as unmaintained)
- DVB - Mird - PDF - Perl - Pipe - Ssleay
It would also be nice if we could get the module split out thing ready for a 7.8 release. I think Grubba mentioned something about changing the build environment around to make that more sane? I'd be glad to try to work on this concept, but I'm not sure what needs to be done.

Seconded. I would also add Languages.PLIS to the list, though more for being technically useless cruft in the module tree, wasting time and attention for everybody assuming there might be something useful to dig up in Languages/*.
I'm not sure how this relates to a 7.8 release, but in 7.7-cvs Stdio.file_size() still returns 4096 for directories. (Instead of -2).
