The showstoppers other than documentation have been cleared from the conversion issues list. That includes the issues blocking documentation, so doc work is underway again. The 1.55 release is scheduled for November 4, and as of the moment it doesn't look like that will sip much if at all. I'm assuming that we want to reopen svn branches/release for a week or so after 1.55 ships as some developers would like to merge pending changes to branches/before the switchover. That would mean an actual switchover starting about November 11. It seems to me we need approximately a week after svn is made read-only and the final conversion run is done to verify the correctness of the conversion. During that time it seems to me that it would be unwise for developers to make git commits since if a serious problem was discovered we might decide to rerun the conversion process, wiping out the git repos. At that point (roughly November 18, we would go totally live and developers could resume their work, now using git and modular boost. Comments, --Beman
