I think its worth experimenting with a longer release cycle but I would start at 9 months and see if that improves things before considering a 12 month or 18 month cycle. I dont know how topaz will transpire but I feel it should be written in a native high level language like D or Vala as its likely to be a rewrite of much of the existing code and could be doable in 9 months with a more productive language. -- Mr Jamie McCracken http://jamiemcc.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
