Stable-more-Stable Weekly update

Hi,

It is a few days after the initial announcement, and received some 
blessings already for the effort. Cherokee is not dead, and got the code 
to prove it :-)

Bug 1284 is fixed. Yes, a one-liner, but one that probably makes more 
sense than my previously attempt. Take a look, apply the patch, and you 
will see it works. Sadly Google decided that Chrome 20 will disable 
False-Start again. The bright side is: we finally have it working!

In the past few days I have closed many tickets, if you feel this was too 
fast or incorrect, please let us know. I would also ask you if you do 
have a reproducable bug: try to see if you can make a QA-test out of it.
There are almost 300 examples (yes, we have almost 300 QA-tests!) to get 
inspiration from.

Things I would like to address before our next update;

1) The community section of cherokee-project.org is down for ages. We need 
to address that.

2) I'm pretty happy that git is a distributed versioning system, but I 
would love to apply all the fixes that have been made in the previous few 
days to our stable branch. Which means I would have to be in the git team.

3) Lets have a great start of the summer and set the next release date of 
the stable branch to 21st of june. That means we have less than two weeks 
to take care of a proper release candidate, and should ask people to make 
packages for their distribution of choice. In true Cherokee style this 
release will have a songname: you might be able to guess what the song 
would be :-)
