I myself don't have any time-frame yet and I don't feel like we need
to hurry. But that's just me. I'm certainly looking forward to 1.8,
it's going to have some very good things in it.

There is a list in workbook/tasks/TODO. The biggest items are
- Implement scm replacements for all of GH
This includes designing the replacement first and writing
documentation, both tutorial style and reference style.
- Cleanup threading code and document it. Especially the roles of
the different APIs (C low level, Scheme, Plugin)
That should not be much work, but I have to admit that I'm a bit
confused right now and need to make room in me head before attempting
this.
- Make 1.8 backwards compatible again with 1.6.
This should be nearly done, but needs more testing.
I want to work on these items when I have finished my thesis, which
hopefully happens in the next three to four weeks. Knock on wood...
