However, we've pretty much failed to discuss this. This is not a good
sign. None of us have had the time to drive this important issue.
Easter holidays did kind of get in the way...
Sure, but that's a few days in the quarter. I'm not saying that we
must do more (I'm the least active of the active people here). I'm
just saying that the lack of progress is an indicator of the problems
of a small community. This is not unique to Wookie and is not
something to worry about as long as the project is progressing.
However, it is something we need to at acknowledge and, where
critical, address. As I said in my first mail...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting there is a fundamental problem
here. I'm just saying we need to crack on with it.

I know from my own conversations with Wookie users that the
"incuabting" label is holding some people back (although it may just
as well be a convenient excuse). I propose that we undertake to
graduate in the next quarter.
+1.
As champion and a mentor I'm willing to make the case for graduation.
My primary concern is our release process is still a little haphazard.
You address this in your mail and I'm happy to see that moving on.
Matt can you help Wookie get to the point of doing regular releases,
preferably synced with Rave. I don't mean Rave depends on a Wookie
making a new release, I mean we aim to have a new Wookie release out
two weeks before the next Rave release is due.
I think 0.10.0 is almost ready to go. I'd say the only issue we need to
address before starting the next release process is WOOKIE-326, the rest can
be pushed back.
Great. What do you think about committing to a regular release cycle
aligned with that of Rave?
This sounds reasonable to me.
I know Paul was also intending to write some doc on the release process.
With this documentation in place, it should aid others to help with the
release process and also make it more transparent.
Has this been started anywhere? I see a very high level description of the
process on the site; but not a detailed step-by-step release plan...
Not yet. I've started to put some text together and plan to do it this
week (hopefully tomorrow).
Paul
Great!
