Does this mean you and Tim will actually be available to review/clear things? You've both previously had a high workload, which meant that absolutely nothing could get done.
That of course reminds me that we need to do a better job of reviewing things that haven't been committed yet. :)
Which brings to mind that there's some interest in distributed version control systems, which should be better for maintaining and publishing individual work branches than SVN.
SVN's good at making release branches, but performing multiple merges like one needs to do on a work branch is a big hassle, and notoriously slow. I know some people are really excited about git, though there are a number of others popular ones out there.
Having something that's fairly usable on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X is a pretty strong requirement for us to start poking in that direction.
