Run script to move all wacom-tools bugs to xf86-input-wacom and ask users re-test Lucid
Solve all high priority triaged xkeyboard-config bugs tagged 'lucid'
Triage all -ati bugs tagged 'lucid'
Update xkeyboard-config POT and set up packaging to regenerate it automatically
Work towards resolving all -ati bugs tagged 'lucid'
Follow up on bunch more bugs. Bugs bugs bugs.

X bug work:

i845, i855
- Try to reduce crashes for i855 and i845 users by disabling DRI (Bug #541492 and Bug #541511). Feedback suggests that it hasn't helped enough and has introduced regressions for others.
- There's a big, scary upstream patch for i855 which is starting to be merged into drm-intel-next. This should get backported to stable, and we'll try to SRU it.
- Discussed solutions with Bryce and slangasek. We'll revert the DRI disablement after RC, and document workarounds.
Apart from i8xx, -intel is going well
Noaccel quirks for nouveau worked. Nouveau also looks good

Documentation:

Write a draft mmiotrace howto
Update X/Freezes with some details about common nouveau freezes

Mono

Discovered that libappindicator0-cil wasn't installing correctly. Filed bug 564351, added a patch. Eventually got duped to bug #564506, which has a bigger patch fixing this and making the package CLI-policy compliant.

Packed up flat & moved to Hobart.
