We have a calendar? Oh, right, a google calendar. I don't use any google
apps myself, so it's hard for me to remember that this shared calendar
even exists.

moinmoin does have a (probably lame) calendar plug-in; perhaps it would
be nice if we used that (too, or instead) so that our web page could
include a visible calendar?

When it looks like we've got consensus on the 1.11 schedule, we can add
those dates to that calendar.

Do you want to keep X server code from being merged until a suitable
proto RC has been released? Or is it sufficient to have code in the
proto repo that has been reviewed?

He did volunteer to merge the proto repositories together quite a while
ago...
