I'm having trouble finding any information about when Drupal 6 is coming out for real. Any information out there? Should I wait a bit to start new projects so that I can take advantage of the new features in Drupal 6?

Thanks for any advice.

Drupal releases come when the software is ready, and not on any particular date. At the moment there are 7 critical issues in the D6 queue, 80 total reported bugs, and 184 proposed patches that need review and testing.

Which version you should use for a new project depends on the projected length of your development cycle and whether the key contributed modules you might need have been ported. Risk isn't all that great; the Drupal API and feature set for D6 is frozen.

More people need to help testing patches to make the final fixes needed - start here:

and then there are plenty more:

Thanks for the reply. I'm very new to the Drupal community, so I've never done any testing, etc. I'll dive in and see what I can contribute.

All help is appreciated.

If you are not familiar with applying patches, see: http://drupal.org/patch
