Good plan! Especially considering the bugs that have shown up recently.

I've created a new 0.6.3-maintenance branch for such work. Developers
can use subversion to switch to the branch. The command 'svn switch
svn+ssh://USERNAME@rubyforge.org/var/svn/alexandria/branches/alexandria/0.6.3-maintenance'
will make bring your current svn working directory into line with the
branch. Make sure to use your real RubyForge USERNAME...
Be sure you're in the right branch when you commit (check with 'svn
info .') and don't add new features to the 0.6.3-maintenance branch.
