I think the 1.9.0 date might be a bit aggressive, but maybe not ... I
certainly doubt we'll be at a "all pieces ported fully to g2" state, but
as you mentioned in IRC you're not suggesting that, exactly. :)

Also, to publicize the discussion in #gnucash from a few minutes ago, it
seems like:

1/ The TODO section of the wiki should be for release-related stuff, 
   though it's unclear what, exactly.

2a/ We should re-assert using Bugzilla for 1.9.x/2.x issue-tracking.

2b/ We should move the remainder of GNOME2_STATUS into Bugzilla.

This last part is the one that I wanted to get sync on.  I'm proposing
that I will move the GNOME2_STATUS line-items into Bugzilla and remove
the file from SVN (clean up Wiki references to it, &c) on, let's say,
Thursday night (19 Jan).  Objections?  Devs, please flush any
un-committed GNOME2_STATUS changes.
