However - now's the time to start discussing the next release.  I don't see
Klaus around.  We've got (with ac #105) a version that could be released in
2-3 weeks.  That's if we stop adding new features, concentrate on bug fixes
and build issues.  (There's the issue of Fote vs Klaus on the "internal links",
which apparently no one but them pays any attention to).

To be clear, a bug is:

        something that causes the development version to not work, where
        2.7.2 does (either by not building on a given platform, not
        connecting to a given web page, or not displaying the page contents)

(note that I'm not addressing "nice to have" features).
