I think thanksgiving is not a great time to releasing something so =
significant. Most folks in the US are on time off and you won=92t get as =
much interest.

If we do need to postpone I=92d aim for Nov 30th or Dec 1st then. My =
experience is that as long as you=92re in the first two weeks of =
December you still get people. After the 14th you slow down=85.

I know we are open-source and release when it=92s ready but I think for =
such a huge deal it is worth waiting three more working days.=20

Btw, do we want to do something special on php.net <http://php.net/>? =
Front page?  Not the sexiest site as-is so maybe gives us an excuse to =
spice up the front page?

Just my 2 cents.
