So when is the big transition to Mash going to happen exactly?

Question

When will Yahoo have their stuff together?

Answer 1

It's not a transition to Mash. They are trying to combine all the profiling services (Mash, 360, regular Yahoo Members Profile likely) into one universal profile in the 2nd half of 2008. A more specific date has not been announced.

The Y!360 team actually said, "The universal profile will not be Mash -- at least not the Mash that you see today. The new profile is likely to share the same platform as Mash, which means that we can provide you with greater flexibility than you currently have on 360°."

See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space.
