MNs suggestions are:
In general 6.2 does not deviate too much from the 6.1.0 to avoid a major delay.  
* do the proposed bug day soon (in August '06)
* don't submit changes to CVSA HEAD with heavy impact during this short time
* End of August '06:
** create a new branch for 6.2, maintain it for a while
** rename 6.1-CVS HEAD to 6.3-CVS HEAD to enable developers again to submit complex changes. Maybe a few things can be anticipated from the [[GRASS 7 ideas_collection]] (respecting our rules to keep parameters/flags/behaviour as much as possible for the 6.x series)
 
In general 6.2 should not deviate too much from the current 6.1-CVS HEAD to avoid a major delay.
