There is no schedule but IMHO this is what we should do before we 
release 2.8:

* Merge the vector layer branch
* Polish and finalize the new features vector layers, on-canvas text 
editing and tagging
* Implement the 2.8 UI specifications i.e. a unified transform tool and 
save + export specification [1]
* Execute and merge the GSoC 2009 projects Improve Foreground Selection 
Tool and Advanced GUI for brush dynamics
