I'd just need some handholding for the first release in case the process id not documented. We could really use a doc on this process. I'd be willing to help write such a document and maybe help Godefroid, Wouter, et. al. get a 3.3.6 out the door if folks like Eric, Hanno, and Wiggy (time permitting) wouldn't mind reviewing it. Just from watching, I'd say it loosely goes something like this: - Create a version specific buildout branch in coredev - Do development - Ensure that plips/open tickets are matched with humans. - Set timelines, apply pressures. - Maintain sources.cfg and versions.cfg. - Ensure that packages get released as development is completed. - Handle any upstream/Zope 2 issues. - Release the final Plone package. Anyone (besides me) have any interest in switching to mr.developer for 3.3.6 (since Wiggy never got around to it, or had any desire to switch IIRC)? Or is that just a lot of work for very little gain… Alex I think we should use some time in the coming days in Bristol to sort that out.

First of all I would like to thank Wichert for an exceptionally well done job. I think Plone would not be where it is today without you. That said: Wiggy, is there really no chance having you on board for the next one or two minor releases? I think that's all it takes until Plone 4 takes over. We are so close.
