Sorry, I meant to respond sooner, but I've been busy. I think it's  a great
idea to get an early start on the release.

In particular, there's some grace period where we should announce a pending
release. Any bug fixes or *small* enhancements that people want to get in
before the release should be added at this time (~week). Then, there should
be another week or so for testing. (I don't think we've done release
branches in the past, but it might be a good idea.)

So, to summarize, Johannes: I think it'd be great if you could get the ball
rolling by setting the timeline. You may want to take a look at my email
preparing for the 0.7
release<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/scikit-image/LEOtIXzJSis>
.

Also, as Steve suggests, RELEASE.txt is pretty thorough. The previous
release was the first release not handled by Stéfan, and I more or less
followed that document for the release. (Well, I probably also sent
numerous emails to Stéfan, too.) So if you're up for it, Johannes, it might
be a good idea to give it a go. (And any improvements you can make to
RELEASE.txt would be great.)

Just a reminder: We may want to revisit the docs version linked on the
website<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/scikit-image/JCDqTQIwMrg>after
this release.

Cheers,
-Tony
