well, maybe i'm too bad at explaining stuff, but my suggestion was exactly that. I don't want to block developers, that's why it is a weekend. But it would be good to ask developers to help test and fix bugs whenever possible. And I tried to put dates that would not bring problems with GSoC since most developers are also mentors or students, and also because it's good to know beforehand when it will happen. I already have my schedule in Google Calendar, I plan to mail the list on Monday with a warning about freeze on Thursday, then one on Thursday and then another on Sunday. Let's see how it goes. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
