I'm going on vacation tomorrow; I'll be in Holland for 10 days and will return to the US on May 26. I expect to have some email access but won't use it much.

Now, I'd like Python 2.2.3 to be released soon. Barry has volunteered to be the release manager. I think it's pretty much ready to go out any time, except that Jeremy mentioned that he has a few things he'd like to backport; since Jeremy and Barry share an office I'm sure they can work this out. :-) I won't be disappointed if 2.2.3 hasn't been released yet when I'm back, but I won't be surprised if in fact it does go out while I'm gone -- it's ready, stick a fork in it! :-)

FWIW, I'm going to be around, and am fairly free during the US Memorial Day weekend 24th - 26th. Can we shoot for getting a release out that weekend? If we can code freeze by the 22nd, I can throw together a release candidate on Friday (with Tim's help for Windows) and a final by Monday.

What do you folks think? -Barry
