The comment on the change is:
First draft: release plan for the first PR

New page:
This is the DRAFT for the release plan for the first preview release. Please help writing this up!

= Goal =

Provide a first preview release to the general public which shows the potential of the new code. It will also show that we're back in the business. The code doesn't have to be production-ready.

= Version number =

0.9 alpha 1 (or something like that)

The release will bear a big disclaimer that the release is intended only as a preview release and that it's not stable and therefore should not be used in production environments. We also don't guarantee API stability just yet.

= Things to finish prior to the release =

 * Website update (version split for the end-user documentation, updated content for the preview release, doesn't have to be as complete as for 0.20.5)
 * The API should be more or less definitive. We still need a decision here: change or no change.
 * The example FO files should more or less work, or at least not fail with an exception.
 * The PDF and PS renderers should have a good quality and produce pretty much identical output (almost done)

= Release date =

Before the end of September 2005!
