All of the 3 most recent uploads were accepted!
From looking at which packages are left, I'd prioritise as follows:

Urgent:
 * user clients and games: ggz-{gtk,kde}-{client,games}, that's 4 packages
 * ggz-python
Not so urgent:
 * text client, server, sdl-games

After all uploads are done, there are a number of changes to the files 
resulting in 0.0.13-2 packages which would require a reupload of everything.
I assume this will be much faster as it doesn't go through the NEW queue.

From our schedule, 0.0.14 might come out in mid-July, but we'll have a 
decision at the beginning of that month since there are a lot of feature 
requests from users.

Maybe you've already heard the news about OpenLadders.net using GGZ as a 
backend system and some MSN gamers trying to migrate to us.
Those are mostly windows users who will use the applet or any port of our 
software to windows. But it brings in people and will make the service more 
attractive.

A friend of mine wants to write an article for Linux Magazine or Linux User 
about GGZ. He usually writes about TeX topics there and he could translate 
my "tech-speak" into "user-speak". It would be nice if the "urgent" packages 
would all be included by then. I don't really have much time right now, and 
he neither, but we're planning this for July also, that is, some time after 
the release.
