[tei-council] hello; release plans

July 5 is sort of OK with me, although I'm flying out for England very 
early the following morning, so I won't be staying up late.

I was the first release button-pusher from outside Oxford, IIRC. It 
might be worth reviewing the Council archives and, if possible, copies 
of James's IRC chat logs (you have logs, don't you, James?) from the 
last release to see what went wrong. Usually it's one or two tiny 
things, and a couple of typos spotted late in the day, which throw the 
whole thing off so it all has to be rebuilt again several times.

Cheers,
Martin
