Hi Gurkan!
You talked about doing a milestone release in the next days.
Just like to make sure that we've finally met all prerequisites
before you start the vote.
Thanks for the discussion Mark...
The normal process would be:
* release discussion - describing proposed release plans (e.g.
approximate timing, remaining functional items, etc). This gives
community members a chance to comment, register additional function/
bug fixes that they'd like to see included, etc.
* release preparation - once consensus is reached, prepare for the
release. Finalize desired functionality, prepare documentation, etc.
Good time to ask community members to review (easier to fix now,
rather than spinning a new release candidate, starting a new vote,
etc...)
* release vote - prepare a release for review and call a vote.
In incubator, we'll then go through an incubator vote. We should
expect that this incubator vote will identify problems. But that's all
goodness... Once the incubator vote passes, then we have our first
release.
