I think instead of delaying, we should try to find a solution (maybe 
additional manpower?), then see what we can do and only then pick a new 
release date. Delaying at this point won't help us a bit, we'd just be running 
into the same problems 4 weeks later.

How about a call for additional volunteers on k-c-d? Allen, do you think the 
work is easy to spread, if not, what would we need to do it to make it 
spreadable? Which tasks are open for volunteers?

Thanks for stepping up, btw. That's greatly appreciated. (But as I said, you 
and Torgny can't be the only one.)

Cheers,
