I would agree with two releases per year. I think the quality would be
better.

Hi all,
We've completed the NetCAT process (on the functioning of the convenience
binary of Apache NetBeans 10) and the PPMC vote (on the sources of Apache
NetBeans 10).
Right now, the IPMC (the incubator project management committee) is voting on
the sources of Apache NetBeans 10, since Apache NetBeans is in the Apache
Incubator. (We're going to be voting to get out of the Apache Incubator very
soon, with support from our mentors, since they're happy with how we're working
as a community and consider us to be ready to be a top level Apache project.)
So, what's next? After we release Apache NetBeans 10, we'll start working on
the next release. Consensus on the dev mailing list has formed around quarterly
releases. In the NetCAT process, we found that there was quite some time
pressure to get things done and maybe we should take more time and thereby be
able to provide more quality.
As a result, here's a proposal to do two major releases next year, in line with
JDK 12 and 13 in March and September, with two optional minor releases in
between (e.g., a bug fix release could be great). Of course, Apache NetBeans
does not serve the Java community only, though those two months of March and
September are fairly spaced anyway and potentially could allow us to provide
bundles with those JDKs if and when that were to be possible.

There are several significant bugs that we need to nail down and resolve, we
can include them in the upcoming releases or distribute them via plugins. We're
I'm sure all very aware of several problems, as well as features that need to
be added -- we need everyone to be proactive in pinning down bugs and in
providing code contributions for missing features.
Comments welcome, and many thanks for all the hard and enthusiastic work done
so far.
