I did not say the release had to be ready three weeks prior to shipping it. |

Only that the articles would have to be written three weeks before the |
8 |
release shipped, if we had an estimated release date. Anyway, it does not |

matter. |

Unless someone disagrees, I think the best course of action would be to inform |
21 |
Sonny that we would rather wait immediately after the next release (whether |
22 |
2007.1 or 2008.0) before commiting ourselves. I will also make sure to ask |
23 |
him how much we will be paid. (In the meanwhile, we can still plan and do a |
24 |
bit of research.) I will mail him tomorrow unless there are new elements of |
25 |
discussion by then. |

Cheers (and good luck for the release, Chris), |
