Hello all, I like all the ideas coming out of this discussion. From what I see is one week going to let us release a beta with Facebook XMPP? If not I say if Thijs can fix the ticket he is working on this weekend, we release.
We can't keep pushing Facebook XMPP onto other milestones just because we are too busy to look over this. We just need a team and/or everyone on irc to get this done. I do like the idea of taking the long weekend and trying to fix as many bugs/tickets as possible. I might not be able to help as I am super busy but can try.

But what I've learnt from updates that involved migrations in the past is that they to require a good deal of testing so I agree with others who said we should do that before putting a beta with it out (provided, we'll wait on Facebook XMPP migration for 1.4.2). >>> >>> >>> Am 05.03.2011 um 00:21 schrieb Colin Barrett: >>> >>>> There's a 50% chance I'll get to work on Adium this weekend.

Facebook definitely needs to be a priority, but I think it needs to be pushed to 1.4.3. > > Here's what I'd like to propose: > Most of us have a long weekend coming up due to the Easter holiday next weekend. Is there anything else that we could squeeze in for 1.4.2 if we waited to release a beta next week? If the answer is no, let's go ahead build a beta tomorrow night or Monday. (Thijs said he's working on getting ticket 15000 wrapped up this weekend if possible so we can roll after he gives us the ok.) However, if the long weekend WILL be beneficial to getting a few more things finished up, we can hold the beta until then. > > Once we've got the beta released, I'd like to shoot for a release of 1.4.2 by the 1st of May. That could easily go a week in either direction if circumstances dictate it, but let's target May 1st. > > After we have 1.4.2 released, the focus really needs to turn to finishing up the Facebook XMPP stuff with the intention of a quick release shortly thereafter. I'd appreciate if anyone who was able to lend a hand could please do so. Unless I'm forgetting something, resolving that should be the last major issue holding us back from directing all of our attention to 1.5 and onward. > > Does this sound reasonable to everyone else?
