+1, I had a draft mail saying roughly the same thing.
We will probably still need to be occasionally flexible depending
on availability of people, too, but as we start whipping out non-
alpha releases of some of the underlying stuff and increasing the
general amount of testing, it'll be much easier to make a call to
cut some things and release anyway since it will be stable already,
right? :)
Mylar, and the rest of Europa projects, schedule releases but if they
don't have anything to release they don't. But the projects that
actually make their release dates are the ones people come to trust.
Mylar is all volunteers (not even a company paying some of the bills
until very recently) and they have managed to stick to this schedule.
There is no reason why we shouldn't be able to do this.

Hi,
Taking the lead from the Mylar development team, whom I have a
great deal of respect for, I would like to create a shared Google
calendar where we can put some releases on schedules. I know at
least for Maven itself, Doxia, Wagon and some plugins I'm working
on I have a clear idea of when they will be released. But what the
Mylar team does is work under the general Europa guidelines and
they try and do releases every 6 weeks. So I'm not sure how the
everything will be ultimately schedule but I would like to make a
start at trying to provide some transparency as the Mylar team does.
So the though was that we would have a calendar on Google where
everyone on the PMC has access to the schedule (as it's a PMC
person who has to do a release) and I'll start the by putting in
the Maven releases. I planned 4 weeks between the last releases
and it ended up being 6 so I'll shoot for that again, but even if
we're off a bit it keeps the users informed and they will have a
single place to look for planned releases dates.
I would like to set this up asap.
+1
Jason.
