PROOF:  Gerri
=============
   For the release, in addition to a couple of pending bug fixes, there are two developments
   that I would like to have in:

       - The extension of the 'multiuser' mode following the model used on the Grid; this
         feature is requested by Alice and it is almost ready.
       - The dataset validation in parallel (currently the dataset manager does it serially
         and several people complained that this may be long).

   These should be done next week.

   I may also have  a recorder file for a simple PROOF-Lite session.
