Also, I think whoever is in charge of the user manual these days should have a say here, but the problem is that I have no idea who that person is (Julien?), and I don't think this person is ever on IRC where most communication is taking place. It would be _amazing_ to have stakeholders connected to the release procedure and tuned to actual gimp development.

Was thinking of exact same thing lately :) But I'd take it further than that. Not only we have lagging Win/Mac/Linux builds, we also have lagging user manual releases. For instance, gimp-help 2.8.0 was released as a tarball in June 2012, a month after GIMP 2.8.0 release. The installers for Windows only appeared in August, and we don't even have official OSX builds of the user manual at all (the ones by Simone are outdated and only available for a few languages). Hence I'd like to propose the following change to the release policy, using Sven's proposal as a basis: 1. Negotiate a release date between mitch (GIMP maintainer), pippin (GEGL/babl maintainer), Jernej (Win builds), and Kris (OSX builds). 2. Finalize a list of changes that should be covered in the user manual and in the docs for developers. 3. Announce a strings freeze at least a month before releasing to give translators and docs writers do their job. 4. Complete all release related docs. 5. Bump version number for both GEGL/babl, GIMP, and gimp-help. 6. Make and test all builds for all supported systems. 7. Update the 'testing' branch of the website (download links, announcements), update docs.gimp.org, check everything. 8. Merge all changes from the 'testing' branch into the 'master' branch of wgo. 9. Announce. To specifically aid #2, since December, there's a changelog targeted at user manual writers: http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Release:2.10_changelog Needless to say, it's WIP, but it's getting there.

It might just not be the best time of the year to get people's attention, as there are a lot of holidays in December/January. > http://benpaulthurstonblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/parameterized- > quadratic-conformal.html Hmm, wonder if I could use this to get a page curl effect.

More coordinated releases would be a good thing to have IMHO. Releasing Windows & Mac binaries and perhaps Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora packages at the same time as a new tarball release would be great. Lately I heard of AppImages, self-contained application packages like apps or dmg, but for Linux. For the Ubuntu part I think all it takes is to contact "Otto Kesselgulasch", the maintainer of the GIMP PPA on Ubuntu. Perhaps staying in touch with the package maintainers of other distros could be helpful.
