And here comes August. Still no update on CPAN, despite the "some days 
off" label, but at least now there is real tangible progress ( see [1] 
below ). As I mentioned several times earlier - a miraculous chain of 
events keep me available to properly wrap up what I am doing, and the 
timeframes got pushed several weeks ahead (yet again, but this time, 
fingers-crossed, for the last time ).

This means everything is still on track, as unlikely as it seems!

I was hoping to start things rolling this weekend, but I had to stop all 
work for the past ~4 days: too much brain-fry. In less than 24h I will 
be embarking on a long trip to a modest private gathering [2], so there 
will essentially be no updates during the coming week either.

More updates in ~10 days


Follows a list of milestones as of Aug 1st:

Now at 95%, virtually finished.

Now *fully 100% complete* (the "next 90%" took a while). See [1] for a 
more extensive writeup
