Hi. Thanks for pushing out those thoughts to the mailing list. I'm not much on IRC lately, so I likely missed a lot of the discussions leading up to this.

I very much like this. I think our deadline approach doesn't work out that well for us. It currently seems that no deadline we set is actually taking seriously and we happen to postpone the real ones for months afterwards. So I'm not all too motivated anymore to actually do things for a "fake" deadline anymore. It currently looks to me like we aren't able to ship the actual finished work for 4.1, because we are waiting and waiting for some work that isn't quite ready yet. I'd rather have earlier, faster and smaller releases for the 4.x series again. The minor feature releases ideally should be more time based than feature based. For the major releases like 4.0 and 5.0 we need to handle them differently, as certain types of features can only land in them for backwards compatibility concerns. Having a feature almost ready and then postponing it to the next major release means not shipping it for two to three years. That's a lot different from not shipping some small feature for another minor release and six months. Your notes on the actual process sound good to me in general, I trust the FWT to organize themselves ;) Cheers, Hanno _______________________________________________ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
