Talk about getting ready for Ubiquity 0.5 release on Monday!!!

0.5 Release will be next Monday!
Today or the first half of tomorrow should be the end of adding new features to code for 0.5.
Spend Thursday, Friday, and Monday focusing on bug fixes and testing, as well as localizing strings
This is not really a "beta", refer to it as Ubiquity 0.5
blockers still to be fixed for 0.5
- Localizing commands
- Parser 2 unit tests
Suggested parser features to get in to 0.5
- Trac reports #732, #738, #752
- Brandon is handling #732, will be in 0.5

Lots of work needed to be done
Heather made 0.5 documentation page in Wiki which links to important pages
Mitcho will be working on wiki pages for...
- converting commands to Parser 2 api
- updating author tutorial
- making your commands localize-able and localizing commands
Let's do as much of the documenting as we can by Monday. On Tuesday we will focus on finishing any documentation that didn't get done.

Decided on a single method for rendering templates using CmdUtils.renderTemplate
- have _() wrap output in renderTemplate
- mitcho's example: if _("template ${var}",{var:var}), run it through renderTemplate

Data Collection will be a 0.6 thing
Plug-in provider verbs not essential for this release. Can be released as a smaller thing after 0.5 (like 0.5.1).

Zac would like everyone to check out his latest blogpost[1] and provide feedback
