What's everyone's thoughts on the pending release of 1.0 and addition
of new features?

If we don't set a deadline or otherwise agree to get 1.0 out of the
door in the very near future, there's a chance that the list of bugs
and blueprints will continue to grow at a faster pace than we can fix
them.

For example, I've started sketching out a new class UnassembledMatrix
which might help to improve the speed of assembly and possibly be used
for a redesign of SystemAssembler. I feel very tempted by it but at
the same time realize it should probably wait until 1.1.

My suggestion is as follows:

1. Everyone take a look at blueprints/bugs targeted for 1.0-beta2:

  https://launchpad.net/dolfin/+milestone/1.0-beta2

Think about whether you can fix things today/tomorrow so we can make a
release of 1.0-beta2 this week. If not, move the items to 1.0-rc1.

2. Everyone take a look at blueprints/bugs targeted for 1.0-rc1:

  https://launchpad.net/dolfin/+milestone/1.0-rc1

Think about whether you can fix things within 2-3 weeks so we can make
a release of 1.0-rc1 by the end of the month. If not, discuss the
items in question on the mailing list and move to 1.1.
