Hello all,

It recently came to the attention to some of us that with the
increasing number of projects we have it can be hard to follow when
packages are going to be released, which often leads to very short
windows of time to give feedback or test the new version with existing
software.

For example, several developers were surprised yesterday with the
announcement of an upcoming notebook 5.0 release, and are now
struggling to catch up on what is new and to test their
plugins/extensions. There are likely others in the community who did
not realize the 5.0 release was so close, who would need some time to
test their extensions/plugins and give feedback.

How would the team and everyone else feel if we encouraged Jupyter
projects to open an issue when a major release started to take shape
which clearly listed the planned schedule for the release and
highlighted what was new in the release? The upcoming release and this
issue would be announced on the mailing list. People interested in
following the release updates could subscribe to this issue.

That would be of course on a per-project/per-maintainer basis, but the
project would try  to encourage it for major releases, or maybe even
minor releases.

Thanks,
-- 
Matthias, with the help of Jamie, Jason, Brian and Fernando.
