That sounds like a plan. Let me add our own versions to make things clear:

* 2.6.32 gets our 0.2 stable
* 2.6.33 get 0.2.5 which is 0.2 stable + linux mainline changes (no packet
format changes, etc will happen here)

After we released the 0.2 stable we start our 0.3 development branch which
contains the new ideas to improve the routing and other stuff. When this branch
gets included into mainline is unclear at this point.

Yes, when and where should we post it ? Should the mailing list be migrated at
that point (I felt a consensus concerning the ml move) ?

It might be a good idea to maintain the ToDo list in the wiki - what do you
think ?
