Hi folks -- The EuroDjangoCon sprints have started, and we're hacking hard to get 1.1 out the door. Here's the plan:
I'm hard at work punting tickets out of the 1.1 milestone. It's tough to do, but this is what time-based releases mean: sometimes you have to ship with known issues. Now, we can't ship with anything that actually causes data loss, crashing of the server, or other Bad Things, but of the 90+ remaining tickets a good percentage fall into the "really freeking annoying but not all that bad" category: bugs with easy workarounds, inconsistencies, or "it would be nice to..." type things. These are getting punted to 1.2. If you disagree with me on any of these decisions get in touch. I'll be in #django-dev and #django-sprint, or bring it here. But please take a very jaundiced eye to anything in the 1.1 milestone; we need to get this done. Once this is done we'll be down to blockers for 1.1; many of us at the sprint are focusing on these. More help will be appreciated! We're not setting a timeline for the 1.1 release because the remaining blockers are, well, *blockers* and *have* to be fixed before we can push a release out. But I'm really hoping that we can get a lot done at the EDC sprints and over the weekend. Murphy willing, I'm hopeful we can push a 1.1-rc1 next week. But no promises there: there are some hard issues that have to be fixed, first. How you can help: if you have some time over the next week please find a 1.1 ticket that's not ready for commit, figure out what the next step towards commit is, and take it. Also: after 1.1 ships (and after we all have some sleep) we'll want to have a postmortem and discuss how the release process worked and didn't, and why we ended up so late. But please: let's hold off on that until *after* we get this release out the door; navel-gazing isn't productive right now.
