Hans & other dev team members,
Good idea! I follow the proposal. Here some more thoughts about the
details, a small list of questions and todo topics.
*1) Current developments*
We should make a list with all current development efforts on the
development repos. Who is going to collect that data, where should we
put it?
HoGent team? VUB team? EhB team? Geneva team? This should really be a
detailed list ( with issue numbers if possible)
Can we put that on the wiki page?
http://support.chamilo.org/projects/chamilo-20/wiki/Planning
*2) Feature freeze
*
Should we set a fixed date? 30 May is on a monday, or better on Friday
27 (with an IRC meeting to give the official call?) so we can have a
quick overview of last-minute change of plans.
We should check the list from section 1 and see if everybody is ready
with all his/her developments. Can we allow exceptions?
*3) Merge stable into dev -> merge dev into stable *
I see two actions here:
- merge stable into dev so all bugfixes are kept inside the code
- merge dev into stable to capture all new developments
Who is going to do this? Is this planned on the next day after the
feature freeze so we keep the timeframe of 'no new development' as short
as possible?
Shouldn't we merge stable into dev more frequent from now on? So we
limit the number of code conflicts while doing the final merge?
What about upgrade scripts to counter database changes?
*4) Update issues on support*
After the feature freeze we should update all issues on the support
projects:
- move all features to next planned release
- prioritize the remainig bug issues
What about the usability issues? Should we move them to next planned
release too?
Who is going to do this?
Regards,
Stefaan

eting, we discussed the feature freeze / stabilization / release
planning of Chamilo a bit more. Since a few key players were not
available and since IRC is a non-official communication channel no
decision was made, but some suggestions were proprosed.
Currently the proposal is to have a feature freeze by the end of may
at which point the current dev repositories would be merged into the
stable. Once that process is completed the stable repos could be used
to finalize a release (later on this year, september maybe?) and
implement bugfixes. Any and every kind of other development could
then, once again, continue on the dev-repos. Lots of "details" still
need to be worked out, but we need to start with somethin ...
As per usual, more feedback is needed / required before we can move ahead.
Best regards,
