[osis-core] Getting OSIS out the door

[Patrick Durusau]

Steve,

List looks good to me!

Could we try to decide on the numbered issue list by this coming 
Saturday? (Feel free to post solutions for any particular issue that 
catches your eye.)

I can devote Sunday to a better rough draft of the schema as I would 
like to have us in bug-fixing mode by next Monday. I think we need to 
publish the 1.1 schema by  17 May 2002 or the following Monday, 20 May, 
and think that either one is doable.

(I will out most of Thursday - Saturday of this week and leave for Spain 
on the 16th, late in the day, so I would like to get as much done while 
I have a fairly good connection as possible.)

Looking better all the time guys!

Patrick
