I have encouraged everyone involved in USR to subscribe to Alioth --
But, I anticipate that we will still be consumers rather than
participants for the .90  cycle.

The .88 release was about focus.  We spent the last three months
pruning all of the branches Sugar branches in Ubuntu except
https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive/ppa .  This branch is based
on Debian and will become the official Ubuntu branch when the 10.10
window opens.   A lot of this was non-technical, like deleting stale
stuff from Launch Pad.

The .90 release will be about synchronization. 1) Learning the the
Debian and Ubuntu workflows.  2) Integrating those workflows together.
 2) Bringing new developer onboard.  4)  Fixing bugs.

The goal is to contribute upstream.... It might take a while to get up
to speed and actively contributing.  At least we are heading in the
same direction.
