Hi Paul, all, * Release the 3.X.0 saying it's a beta, could have some bugs not detected. The 3.X.1 being a RC, and the 3.X.2 being the 1st really stable version. +1 for this second option. You could say that it makes more formal what one could already suspect about a 3.X.0 release.. No real

I'm mostly in favour of solution 1 (in that it's close to what I think we should to, and solution 2 is not good in my opinion). But I think there is a little more to it. There are several factors in our current workflow and environment that are causing these bugs and regressions: - *Lack of

I think I too side with option 1. As much as I would enjoy googleizing our naming scheme and adding beta to the end of every initial release I don't think it is practical for our product. While enhancements are an important part of Koha I don't believe we should put them ahead of its stability.

I think a recruitment and training effort by the Koha community targeting potential programmers should be considered; I do understand the decentralized structure of the open-source community might make this difficult. Below I suggest one potential candidate pool of Koha developers. I have an

If no one can voice a reason to have separate indexes for the OPAC v. the staff client, best to use the same ones. It's what we do for biblios, and authorities is just another Zebra database. Keeping things simple will improve life for everyone. -Ian On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 12:35 PM, Jared

Brendan, I think the thing that I struggle with is the definition of a Freeze... Please speak up and correct me if I am wrong here. This is what I think it means currently - if something has an enhancement bug listed (i.e. the idea is out there before the freeze date) - then it could still be
