Hmm, is it bad luck to plan a release for April Fools' Day?

Hrmmmm...since we've yet to actually release when we state we will, maybe
we'll release on time? :)

It has always been my favorite release date.  We plan to release
the first full PG port of Ars Digita's web toolkit, including ecommmerce,
on April Fools Day.  I didn't realize that was the offical
PG7.0 release date but since we plan to use PG7.0 as our supported
platform I like the date even more!

The benefit is that if you accidently stuff up and people lose all their
data, you can always fall back to "APRIL FOOL!". :-)
