+= Introduction =
+
+This page provides a convenient way of keeping track of the focus of each
iteration.
+
+If you have a specific need that is not currently a part of our planned
development cycles please feel free to provide a patch at any time, we will
do our best to review it and, where appropriate, include it in the next
iteration. If you are a committer you can, of course, add whatever you want
into our iteration planning process. The ContributionProcess document has
more details.
+
+= Iterations =
+
+We use iterations of two weeks in a cycle of 4 iterations. At the end of
each iteration a new build will be deployed on
http://registry.oss-watch.ac.uk. We call this a 'soft release'. So a soft
release is performed every two weeks.
+
+At the end of every third iteration a release branch will be created and a
candidate binary release is created from that branch. This means that every
third iteration must assign sufficient velocity points to the release
process to ensure this process is fully implemented and all pre-requisites
that are described below are met. We cannot cut corners on this as this is
where our final quality control checks are performed.
+
+The first week of every fourth iteration will be used to test the
candidate binary release and fix critical bugs on the release branch. The
second week of every fourth iteration will then be mainly used for creating
the final binary release itself, which will be signed by as many developers
as possible. At the end of the fourth iteration the binary release will be
made available on the Google Code website and the public registry website
will be updated. During the fourth iteration it is possible to commit
changes to the trunk, but they will not be included in the release at the
end of the iteration.
+
+In the figure below, the whole cycle of four iterations is displayed:
