[tei-council] next release?

[James Cummings]

What do others think? We can of course move releasing back to 
whenever we've finished a majority of tickets, but I'd prefer 
sooner rather than later and a deadline that forces us to get 
stuff done.

I'm of the opinion that we probably don't need to telco before 
this release (we can, after all, conduct business on the mailing 
list), but would do so shortly after the release to get updates 
on the longer-term issues and reports from the council working 
groups.

thoughts?
