Yeah! The process has changed over time and has been "documented" as part of mailing list discussion, IRC meetings and real life meetings, like the Strategic Planning Summit or the framework team meeting at the Plone conference in Washington D.C. The only two websites I can find that have any information are: http://dev.plone.org/plone/wiki/FrameworkTeam http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-core-developer-reference/overview/release-process Both of which contain some valuable and some outdated information. The information should probably be linked from: http://dev.plone.org/plone/wiki/Development > I'm looking for some help in actually writing down the process of how a major > release of Plone comes together.

Anyone willing to help me write this? I can help. There's a good deal of our processes that "emerge naturally" or that are driven by "interested and influential" community members, like for example the whole general major roadmap planning. But it'll probably help to make it clear where mysterious things happen and where we have formalized processes that are actually followed.
