I have to start the mail by saying I have not yet caught up on all the
mails on this
thread yet, but it looks like we have consensus so I am going to put my
foot into it...
1. We are going to go with time boxed releases moving forward.
2. Try track on a 2 month cycle (from comments from a few people I have
spoken
to) - debate this point if you want to.
3. As we will not be feature driven but rather time driven we will publish a
compatibility matrix for each release.
Suggested release schedule for 2008
M3: August 29th --- All feature merges in by Aug 8th
M4: Oct 31st --- All feature merges in by Oct 10th
M5: Dec 19th --- All feature merges in by Nov 28th
This gives as 3 weeks in each cycle to focus on bug fixing, testing
and general quality before each release.
We could do M3 sooner if we want to as we have been working on it
for a while. Anyone want to try for M3 sooner?
Comment please....
Carl.
