I don't really have a say in this, but i do disagree somewhat. The code will 
be stable (feature wise) the moment no new feature are added. So you could 
create a 2.3.0 branch right now and call it 'stable' (again feature wise). 
The just release 2.3.0a1 and start testing. Work out the bugs from there and 
call it final when the bugs are out of it. Work on new stuff can just go on 
in the trunk even during when it's release time.

That's, imho, how 'Release early, release often' works. In a more extreme form 
it's even possible to simply decide there will be a new release each x 
months. 

I don't really have the insight in the James community to make a proper 
judgement about this, but i do think more frequent releases may help James to 
gain some momentum and may also speed up development because there will be 
more user testing.

Greeting,
Arjan
