I think we’ve pretty much reached all these milestones.  So we need to
do some testing again of the installer, but at least we no longer have
the excuse of adding one last feature.  So I guess we could seriously
work on it.  Thoughts?

In fact, I’ll be away from keyboard for some time, so I’m not
necessarily part of “we” in the coming weeks :-) but happy to help
afterwards.  We could aim for beginning of September, or earlier if
people are available.
