ok. looking here the problme is.. you have a schedule.. that has none of the following: a knowledge of how long tasks will take people available to do the tasks time guaranteed from all the people this schedule doesn't account for any of that. the result will be a date rolls around with none of the stuff done for it. i propose something MUCH simpler. if the aim is stability in stages maybe simply call freeze dates. "you have until 30th april to finish your current work, if it's underway. anything not done by then must be disabled/removed/unpatched. work can happen as long as it is compile-time enabled or runtime enabled and has no effect unless enabled". then within a few days of that date tarballs are produced with incremented release numbers. how about that? :) > Hello all, > > As you might know we have to do the following list in order to > release: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Release > > But until then we'll have a long time and it's bad to not have > intermediate releases to help users try enlightenment and its > libraries.
