Fixed release dates (was Re: About Integrate Forrest Maven plugin
(FOR-55))

I'd say that the person doing the release should decide when he has good
time to do it. Then, we decide a freeze date some days before it, and
everything that is committed before becomes part of the release.
This is because IMHO timed releases are better for a project like
Forrest that has so many extra features in it.
Jeff, if you are still willing to do the release, please tell us when
and give us a freeze date, so that whoever wants to add other things
shall do so before that date.
Also, what about setting other fixed release dates? How about one every
two months?

I prefer to base our releases on features more than on time, but I happy
if everyone said so.

Should we wait two weeks after 2.1.1?

Good idea.
Then how about every two months + two weeks after a Cocoon version?
It will take some time before Cocoon gets to 2.2.

Nicola,
As far as I was aware, Jeff wanted to release this week. I would like
to use JIRA[1] to specify what should be fix before Jeff's release.

Because we are mainly based in Cocoon, How about 2 weeks after our
cocoon's version?

a release on Friday?, well, I am not sure when people have more free
time to fix if something goes wrong. If you think that it is better over
the weekend then I happy.
Cheers,

Ok, then let's keep it as a general principal :-)

It would be nice, but I don't think it should hold up a release.

How about Friday 11:00h GMT?

Sounds fine as a general principle. Sometimes a longer period is
warranted. Although the six-month delay between 0.4 and 0.5 is pretty
excessive, at least it allowed the sitemap to stabilise.

Fine as well, but to ensure a stable product we need to test after we
incorporate libraries, that takes time, I suggested 2 weeks.

I do not know, but In other to stick to a roadmap, people need to assign
issues to theirselves.

What about releases based on certain features? For example, say 0.6 will
have a redesigned directory structure. Or is forrest development still
too active/changing/young to constrain it to a certain roadmap?
