...I sent out a note a while ago now trying to scare up some ideas on how to vet the current list of 2.6 proposals and get to a final "plan". I didn't get much (any?) response :(
For a couple of things that were ready to go and fairly non controversial (like Toby's unicode work), I put on the BDFL hat and said "merge it!".
But there are still a lot of things on the proposed features that are undone, and some that are controversial enough that we need to get to closure on them.
I'll volunteer to convert the current proposed feature list into a draft "plan", where the conversion boils down to adding some columns to the table:
Proposal - name and link to the proposal
Resources - who is working on it
Committed - Y/N whether the volunteers have committed to have the implementation and docs done by the first week in June. I'll fill in what I know has been committed to, people can update this (or let me know and I'll do it), and anything that doesn't get a 'Y' in a reasonably short time will be put in the cooler.
Vetted - Y / N whether the community and / or the relevant BDFLs have come to some agreement on whether it *should* be done. The list of items without a 'Y' will be our next order of business. Getting to closure on those either via the list, IRC, or whatever is the main block on the critical path.
Status - Complete or incomplete
I've taken a first stab at this. I've set the "committed" to 'Y' for those things that I know I've gotten commitments for. For those set to 'N', please let me know if you can commit to the date (or change it yourself in the wiki).
The updated plan is at:

Once we get the commitments up to date, we can start wrangling with the vetting...
