Happy New Year, but ...

... we need to accelerate.

Beginning of December we agreed on resolving most issues until the end
of the year. Not much has happened. In fact it was almost only Andreas
and me working on issues, see
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10056
where "Resolved|Applied OpenFormula ODF 1.2" lists the issues that were
resolved in the last 3-4 weeks, since Patrick edits the document and
I don't apply changes at the moment.

At the current pace we won't be able to finish the document in time. The
public review is planned for end of February. Essentially that means we
MUST have issues resolved until the end of January, best earlier if
possible, of course. Issues unresolved by then will have to be
postponed.

I urge everyone to work on assigned issues. Add the text that shall go
into the document or other detailed changes to the Proposal field so
I'll be able to apply the solution to the document, and set the status
to resolved so it will show up in the filter. Please also grab yet
unassigned issues if you think you can propose a solution.

Please don't reassign resolved issues to me or Patrick, just leave them
assigned to you, they will be caught by the filter for further
processing.

Thanks
  Eike
