Well, we've ended up with so much trouble with the first step that I've just been concentrating on that in terms of trying to set a date. We're hoping for the September/October timeframe for the transition to Mercurial. I think we originally thought we'd want about a month between that and moving the gate outside. I think the date for moving the gate will partly depend on a set of 'must-haves' around it. For example, can we move the gate outside so people can start doing direct commits but continue to build inside for some amount of time if all the gatekeeper tools aren't complete? Answering this is leading me to think we should pursue the transition to Mercurial first. And once we have a plan with a real date for that I'll start working the 'move the gate outside' planning. Thoughts?
