All,

The discussion started last week to release Wink 0.1 as soon as possible.
In the interest of preventing scope creep and getting something out soon,
I'd like to make a proposal for release strategy for Wink beyond the 0.1
release.

A regular (or semi-regular) release interval will provide developers steady
time lines with which to plan contributions to Wink.  Regular releases also
give users an interval in which they can expect service for issues they've
found in previous releases.  I propose we find a regular release interval
for Wink so that we can start laying out what features we want to
prioritize and roll into the next few releases.

For the short term (maybe through the next 3-4 releases), how does a 6-week
release interval sound?  That provide at least 4 weeks of development time
and 2 week for publishing a release candidate and doing any additional
clean-up.  Once the churn slows down, the interval could extend out if
there's nothing significant to release.

Thoughts?
