Unless some major problems come up, 1.1.44 will be the last of the 1.1.x series. The next release will be 1.2-rc1, which will mark the beginning of the code freeze. This should result in a 1.2 final sometime in June.
Would it be worthwhile to put together some sort of release announcement detailing changes and improvements in Wine between 1 and 1.2? Some thing similar to what other projects release that tech sites can pickup and talk about. Maybe even a more formal press release style document.
If not I feel it might be good to have a page, nicely formatted with graphics, that listed some applications that run as-native that people not using Wine can try so that they become familiar with the application. We could easily compile a list of 10-15 popular platinum applications that those who discredit Wine would be surprised run well. A small blurb and some nice screen shots of each application with links to their respective Appdb and Wikipedia entries would be good.
I am volunteering to organise some thing like this if wanted but it'd have to be some thing people were comfortable with and like the idea of.
