When is "When it's ready?"
• When we have 0 critical issues, we roll a release candidate.
• When we’ve shipped a release candidate that didn’t add new criticals, we ship 8.0!
• Hoping for 8.0 mid-2014, but still lots to do.

Where do we need help?
• Finish API conversions• Performance • Developer Experience• Migration path• DOCUMENTATION!• EXAMPLES!• TOOLS!
• TESTING, TESTING, TESTING!

What about the upgrade path?• Work actively ongoing to add content migration
path from both D6 and D7 to D8 ("Migrate in core"): https://groups.drupal.org/imp
• To check status of contrib module upgrades, see: https://drupal.org/project/upgrade_status
• For help w/ custom module upgrades, see: https://drupal.org/project/coder
• To avoid upgrade pain, stick to well-vetted contributed modules over custom code.
