Very good!

Since the code is now starting to become useful for a wider audience,
I'd like to suggest the following process for creating new releases:

1. At t = 0, one of the maintainers (hoffman/jansson/logg/wells)
suggests that it's time for a new release. He then also sets a
reasonable deadline t = T for the new release and announces his plans
to dolfin-dev.

2. Sometime before t = T, each of the other maintainers checks out the
current version for testing and verification and confirms to
dolfin-dev that everything is ok for a new release.

3. At t = T, the maintainer that originally suggested the new release
prepares and releases the new version.

The testing interval (0, T) does not have to be very long. It's also
ok to make a new release even if not all maintainers have responded
before t = T, if the maintainer making the release is confident that
the code is ready for release.

Since Johan H just announced his plans to make a new release, this will
be a first test. The deadline is a little vague ("before Christmas"),
but I'll try to confirm within an hour.
