Per Grant's request on -core, here are the releng objectives for 2005. Chris, if I miss anything, feel free to chime in.
-Biannual release schedule: Releng is now on a biannual release schedule. The first release (2005.0) will be in January, and the second release (2005.1) will be in July/ August. Each release will include install cds, stages, and grp. -LiveCDs: The current style of LiveCDs is going to change. Plans are to replace the current universal LiveCD with a Knoppix like XLiveCD. Media will be renamed accordingly; the minimal LiveCD will remain but will instead be called the minimal installCD. The jury is still out on the naming for the XLiveCD (but there are ideas floating around releng). -GRP: Working in a joint effort with the installer project, releng is working on redefining GRP. The current plan, which is subject to change, will use functionality similar to "quickpkg" by packaging the installed packages on the XLiveCD and copying them to the target system.
