W3C is looking at bringing more resources to work on our public validation/quality tools, but for now it's me alone, and I will be focusing on the CSS validator, XHTML AppC checker and Unicorn project for a few more weeks. What needs to happen for a release of the 0.7.3 markup Validator: 1) fix all the outstanding bugs, or postpone addressing them. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi? product=Validator&target_milestone=0.7.3 The main issue is that of changing the validator to trigger its XML mode based primarily on mime type rather than solely on pre-parsing and detection of a doctype. It also involves some changes in the "direct input" interface, where no mime type is present. 2) Prepare a list of all changes between 0.7.2 and 0.7.3. Test for regression bugs. The list placeholder is at http://esw.w3.org/topic/MarkupValidator/ChangeLog 3) build a changelog, announces, etc. Package the release. 1) means working on open source code, 2) is on a wiki and anyone can help build the changelog. Everyone, impatient or just willing to help, is welcome to dive in - I'll be more than happy to assist you. -- olivier
