Keep in mind that classes will begin in late Feb/early March, and consequently
Zoltan's time will be limited.  My own time may also be a little bit limited
as I hope to be tutoring this semester.

To clarify, do you intend to fork and freeze a beta version on the 20th of Feb
and then build a release candidate and/or 0.14 sometime after? (I guess
March-ish).

I agree with this approach.
