Speak now or forever regret not speaking.

I listened to Britney Spears in my misguided youth! Man... does it ever feel good to have spoken. No regrets now!

I'd like to push toward a 3.1 release very soon (2 weeks time?). I need to ensure we get everything done we need to before that time. Earlier tonight, I sent out an email asking for translations. I just now added a comment to the 3.1 Release Roadmap on Flyspray <http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8109>. I'd appreciate feedback there (but please not lengthy discussion of "why isn't this in 3.1"- if you don't have a patch for it, it isn't getting in).

Had a quick look over that FS just now - looks fine to me. I've personally got nothing pressing I'd like to see in 3.1 that isn't already in 3.1, or hasn't already been turned down for consideration in this version (ie. all those config-parsing changes I proposed ages ago that I haven't touched since).

The only other big things I can think of are these two issues: 1. Our frontend output is still a bit jacked up. We need to get messages looking correct during progress bar output. 2. Documentation updates, including the changelog (we've had 646 commits since the 3.0.0 release, so we have some digging to do).

Are there any other showstoppers to doing a release?

Nothing I can think of, but I haven't been very active in the development lately. I'm kinda anxious to see this release hit, tbh - it's got some smaller things that I've been waiting for for a while (slight restructure of sync repos in filesystem, single mirrorlist) that'd be cool to distribute amongst the masses. :D Thanks for all the work you guys! You all rule.
