0.8 beta ?

That's the news of the day :"Our next immediate hurdle is releasing a beta for 0.8 so we can get some expanded testing before releasing 0.8 final. Our core of nightly testers is dilligent but the more people pounding on it, the better. As soon as Mozilla 1.7 goes final, we'll branch and see what's involved in our own beta.".
Having a beta test is the good approach in my opinion, this will bring more users to test the nightly, we need more basic qa to be done on those. If leaf could rapidly set up whats needed for Camino to be able to include talckback again in Camino, so we get some feedback from the users who don't use bugzilla.mozilla.org. IMHO this will bring use some interesting feedback.
When 0.8 is out we need to start the localization effort for Camino. I should get in touch with peterv, because he's the one at mozilla Europe working coordinating mozilla translation, in order to ask him if he wants/can coordinate such effort. I'm thinking about it because I've been contacted by a member of geckozone, saying he almost finished the translation of localization.strings in french. I met that guy over at FOSDEM 2004 and he volunteered to translate. In order to really and completely translate Camino one needs to have the developers tools in order to tranlates the .nib files that we use in the project.
Yesterday I AIMed a friend of mine telling him about Camino. He wanted to know what will be new in 0.8 I answered : " New bookmark Manager, Download manager and speed improvment". He then asked me why no browser allowed a search in bookmark functionnality - I answered try Camino. He's been using Safari since Apple released it. He might be trying to use it. We need to get in touch with mozilla.org's marketing team to be sure the beta release is know to the world and the news get's posted to the mac news sites. That the beta gets know in version tracker. Work has started on updating Camino's project page.
