We're doing well on the road to 1.18. We went from ~370 un-reviewed revisions on last weekend to ~210 un-reviewed revisions today.
We need to sustain this momentum to have 1.18 ready for release in time.
One area that hasn't been getting enough attention, though, is FIXME'd revisions.
On Monday, there were 95 FIXMEs and today that was only reduced to 86. We need that rate to really increase, so on Monday, I'll be contacting people with FIXME'd revisions and asking them to take action. If you don't have time, please let me, Robla, or the list know so that we can make sure that we have the code in a releasable state in time for release.

Thanks,
