There have been so many changes since 1.1 that I'd say go for the above
schedule.  I'll push to get Ragbag ready for 1.2 (set of classes to permit
a user to make virtual sequence contigs without coding).  It's a working
alpha now.

Perhaps some of the time between 1.2 and 2.0 can be invested into
writing documentation?  We'll need it when the number of interested
parties rises and this list gets a much increased load of basic queries.
BOSC can only increase interest.
