The best thing to do is look at the TODO list in the tarball, which is
essentially the roadmap (as I see it).  A branch is feasible at 0.9
(test release to fedora-list).

The easy way to see what "0.9" means is to grep through the Installation
Guide FIXMEs and ignore the appendices, because we can drop them and
still have a useful document.  You will see:

- 2 sections to be written (Paul Frields has offered to tackle "Disk
Partitioning").
- About three TECHQUERYs in the main text (Mayank is looking at these).
- Screenshots (see separate discussions, I've made the masters and am
unsure how to handle the EPS).

When these are resolved one way or another we can ship 0.9 to the
fedora-list.  At that point we have a publically available document and
can start making noise at about it. I intend to ask for people to come
in and help with 64-bit and PPC right from the initial post.  With a
visible document the FDP could also make a case for developers to become
involved in technical review for 1.0.
