[Vincent Massol]

To be more precise here are some proposed dates:

- 1.0 RC1: 16/Apr/07
- 1.0 final: 23/Apr/07
- 1.0.1: 07/May/07
- 1.1 B1: 21/May/07
- 1.1 final: not defined

Please all committers answer on my previous email and this one to  
ensure we're all on the same page and all agree on the way forward...

Thanks
