Re : Re: [RELEASE]: proposed schedule for AOO 4.0

[me...@free.fr]

Hi,

Does some cycle exist about releasing of OOo? Because since the schedule, it seems that OOo 4.0 will not include current work about accessibility. It is a pitty as I think it is a major contribution and it would be a pitty if we should wait for end of 2014 to see it. It seems things could be ready for novembre. Do you think we can hope progress during 1st six months 2014? In a 4.1 release I get?

Regards,

I will try to give n update on the current plan.

The sidebar branch is not yet integrated but I expect that it will be
finished next week latest. That means we will have a delay of some days
here. As soon as I have concrete dates I will update the plan in the wiki.

Some further things are ongoing and we should try to finish this work
soon (2 weeks) to have the stuff in place and can start or concentrate
on bug fixing and stabilization.

we had 2 releases last year and I don't see any reason why we should not
have 2 releases this year. It really depends on what we have for a new
release. We don't want release something only to have a new release.

The accessibility work is a big and major task and takes some time. It
can't be finished in time for 4.0 but we will see how the development
moves forward. It can be a good candidate for a 4.1.
