I have updated the Zope 2.8 wiki to reflect the planned schedule for Zope 2.8: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/MilestonePlan Since we are trying to shift towards a fixed-date schedule every Zope 2 contributor should see this schedule as a chance and commitment to make contributions and fixes within this time frame. This schedule implies that all outstanding issues with Zope 2.8 have to be fixed before the final release. Andreas
