RE: [dev] Releasing 2.3 earlier - to capture part Back to school season?

If we manage to release by, say 25th of August we will capture users by giving them new shiny tempting version 2.3 (which is promising to be very good feature-wise) for their new computers. I don't think that this makes sense (BTW: I think that most computers are ordered around Christmas, so releasing a new feature release in September isn't a bad timing). What do developers think of this? I can speak for myself only. I think we should stick to our release cycle. We extended it for a reason. This reason hasn't gone. There is not much I can do to change this, right? WBR, Kirill Palagin. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What do developers think of this? WBR, K. Palagin. (As member of QA, I promise to work as hard as humanly possible to help in meeting new release date.) P.S. I could not find more suitable list for this proposal. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
