Release Coordination

Proposal for Committer Group Coordinated Release: Since no one has volunteered as 1.7 Release Coordinator, we could manage this release from the overall Committers group. However, doing so will require us to establish some slightly more strict code committing "rules" which we all promise to follow.

Proposed 1.7 Code Committing Rules:

1. No incomplete features in "Trunk", ever. If you are in-progress on a feature, create an SVN sandbox or module area to work on it, and pull it over to Trunk once it has been completed and is ready for testing & release.
2. All new features must have documentation before committing to Trunk. If a feature has no documentation, it should not be committed to Trunk until there is some minimal documentation (minimal documentation includes documenting all configuration options).
