You referred to an email listing the goals.  Did you mean Martin's from
02/08/06?

I'm sorry if you're disappointed that we didn't get all that done.  I
don't think anyone expected that we could.  Martin said:
"here are some things people might like to work on, and that Canonical
people will be working on", to introduce the feature list.  The email
also makes reference Robert's "0.10 release process - time based
release?" email, where he notes "...to ensure the release happens, any
feature that isn't ready will just get punted to 0.11"

Perhaps we could have been clearer that these were targets for things
that *might* appear in 0.10.0, but that's a hell of a lot to get done in
three weeks.

Given that we'll be doing releases every month, I wonder whether this is
really needed.  The actual release notes will let people know about our
progress.
