 * Andrew Kuchling added many, many examples to the library reference.

 * Kevin Cole started a detailed review of the Python Tutorial.

 * FredDrake removed the {{{xmlcore}}} package, leaving only the {{{xml}}} package found in previous releases. Tests were added that check for some of the problems that provoked the removal. This resolves (at least) SF:1511497 and SF:1513611, and obsoletes SF:1504456.

 * Fixed SF:1193966 (weakref documentation cleanup for extension types).

 * Various minor documentation cleanups.

AMK will buy some supplies to bring along.

 * Copies of the contributor agreement.

FredDrake wonders if there are whiteboards/flipcharts available. Everyone can bring their own pads/pens, but group resources are more difficult.
