Hi,

Julen and I met in Pretoria in January to discuss our release and
development process moving forward after 2.5.

I've finally managed to capture that discussion and have updated the
release document here:
http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/pootle/en/latest/developers/release.html

Would love you all to give that a read and check for any typos and errors.

In general the doc should give some clarity on:

   1. When you can contribute and land things
   2. When to expect a new release of Pootle
   3. What you can expect when running from master.


However, we do need some input and help in these two thing:

   1. When to branch when creating time-based releases.
   2. What to name our branches.


When to branch
Options

   1. As written now branch would happen at the end of the stabilising
   month, i.e. as late as possible - thus forcing focus on the stabalisation
   2. Branch early and port change to the branch as needed - allows master
   to continue in rapid development
   3. Branch just before invasive changes - kind of a compromise of the
   above two.

Your thoughts?

Branch naming

   1. Previous - simply 2.5.0 - I think this then confuses tags and
   branches that have the same name
   2. As written - 2.5.0-branch - I'm liking this less.
   3. Suggested by Julen stable/2.5.0

Your thoughts?
Thanks for the input
