Just a note concerning Fulcrum stuff - the new version of the unit test
has improved a lot over the one your using. The main differences are
that you no nonger parameterize the test case with constructor arguments
- instead things will just work automatically - anbd if you have a
special scenario - you just add a merlin.properties file to ${basedir}
and you can customize the kernel setup.
Cheers, Steve.

Are all the updated tutorials for this new RC in CVS already? Is there any
specific tutorial/unit test to look at to better understand the new
embedding stuff that you would recommend?
Assuming that this goes forward ;-), then this Embeddable Merlin is all that
Turbine 2.4 is waiting for then. Can't wait for the release...

Correct.
Community votes on a product release.
PMC votes on publication of the release.

Correct.

That's an option of whever raises the vote. In this case we have 3
packages - util, repo, and merlin. Given that a new RC is in the wings
- this means a new vote - and my guess is that it will be easier to go
with three votes - one for each repective package.

okay. And this vote is a vote by all of the community which will be
follow-upped by a pmc vote to make things binding, right? So people that
are both on the pmc and part of that community will vote twice? And we
only vote on the whole set of releases together, not on the individual
packages?
sorry for having a thick head, I just wanna make sure I'm following.

Looks like a few people want to see the LOADER renamed to something else
- and given that we need to update and validate the scripts to take into
account the the Cygwin fixes (which I missed) - I figured another RC
could be put together tonight and I'd re-launch the vote.
What do you think?
