Hi Mark,
the deadline is currently the end of the month, with the release on August
1st, so we're tidying things up and testing this week and next.
Assuming we're leaving the VOTable support for another day, I see the
problems with a release of the PLASTIC features as mainly packaging (all
those support Tcl libraries should be completed, but that could be a
trivial inclusion of licensing and some documentation), and the need for
an "Interop" menu. What do you think?
Cheers,
Peter.
