sure.

Well, we don't officially support 10.3, so I don't think we need a pkg  
installer for it. Ideally, we should have 1 universal pkg that works  
on 10.4 and 10.5 intel and ppc.

I think we'd just want to merge over any fixes to brokenness that  
would prevent release. Any big changes would wait until the next  
release.

That way 1.7 would be just current trunk + any polish needed to have  
it work right for our users.

Do you want to? ;-)

Since jmpp seems to be too busy to work on it, we could probably use  
someone who wants to do the release manager thing (and you tend to  
watch commits pretty closely, so you'd probably be good at it :) ).
