Jan, thanks for your feedback. As far as additional alpha or beta: I'm not sure thats realistically possible. Lets consider the time and effort it takes to spin a typical release: 1 day to generate, upload, and smoke test artifacts for the release candidate (including fixing stuff that always seems to be discovered) 3 days for the voting period (usually times two, there is typically one respin) 1 day actually releasing: updating the website, uploading the massive javadocs, sending emails. So I think this process is usually about a week. Additionally I think there is little point to issuing alpha/beta releases if we don't give users the time to actually install them and report back problems. That being said if someone wants to do all this work, I certainly wouldn't vote against it! I'm just trying to make sure we all think about this realistically. Personally I'd like to spin up an RC say, next friday (August 3rd). Given a typical timeframe that leads to us putting out the beta around Monday August 13th: mid-August as you suggested. And this gives everyone a week (from today) to fix more stuff before the beta. -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
