Would it make any difference to anyone if IBM proposed that we put http://www.ibm.com/wasce/plugins as the default option. I think there would be many eye brows raised at that one. Let's be consistent in our interpretations. Jeff Genender wrote: Bruce Snyder wrote: On 6/9/06, Jeff Genender

3.5 months for the planned cycle seems a bit two long especially when you think it would be reasonable to bump it for something important. I personally would like to see 2 months planned, so if it runs long we are closer to 3 months instead of 4. -dain On Jun 9, 2006, at 4:22 PM, Aaron
