I think the problem with more frequent real releases is the difficulty
of running Sun's TCK. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this, but
it sounds like a major hassle, and I expect that each official "release"
would need to be re-certified unless the changes were limited just to
very simple bugfixes.
Making "milestone" releases should be much easier; there's no need to
run the TCK on these (though they should be JSF-compliant barring any
accidents).

How about just releasing smaller bug-fix releases, more often? I tried
to start the conversation about then 1.1.2 would be released and the
'roadmap', but the conversation has stalled.
Should we call a vote to begin the release process for 1.1.2?

Subject: Milestone builds?
Hi,
What do people think about releasing a binary milestone build?
Currently the SVN head is pretty stable. There are *many* great fixes
and enhancements since the 1.1.1 release, but people may be (rightly)
wary of trying to use SVN head as there's no guarantee it's workable
at
any particular time.
Releasing a "milestone" build every couple of months, where we run the
tests, the examples, wait a few days for any problem reports, then
publish it could be very useful without being a large burden to
create.
Opinions?
Cheers,
Simon
