I think our intention is to get the StandaloneZODB 1.0 release out
ASAP.  There are IIRC three outstanding issues:

- documentation ;)
- integrating Greg's ConflictError patch
- integrating the contributions, e.g. PersistentList

None should take that much time, but we've been too busy to finish it
up.  It's on my todo list though, so I'll likely work on it next week
(after the next Python beta and before Thanksgiving).  Jeremy can pipe
in of course, but I think he feels like ZEO 1.0 is ready to go

I'd definitely like to keep it alive for the bug and patch tracking!
