Hi Patrick,

Sorry for taking so long to reply to you.

I agree.

Well, if you only take those that work and are newsworthy, we would probably
be at 3.5.7.

That is true.

Hmm, we did publish a press release when the General Office Displayer came
out.

Right now, I don't want to boast with the extensions, until we have
rearranged the TER. That again is hinging on a minumum sum of reviews having
been performed.

Since that is something that did not happen in due course and Kasper and
Robert will have to sit down to give it another shot. it might take a few
more weeks.

Until then we have 3.6.0 to write about, but so far I have no reply fro the
typeheads on what they would like to see in that press release.

May be time to rethink the typehead thing as well and forget about the
titles.

Let's see.

Cheers

Daniel
