Ben's back from Brazil.
He proceeded to catch the flu as soon as he got back (for this he
lives in Arizona!?), and hasn't accomplished much since. However, his
neuro-muscular issues seem to continue under control, and perhaps to
improve. He expects to be able to work with pretty good efficiency.
His plan at present is to have a version of his Mule on Windows work
that builds and maybe runs on a branch in CVS by February 1. Code
complete on March 1. This will miss the release target by a mile. So
I'm going to hope for miracles, but am expecting to have to scratch
the Mule/NT stuff from the release. Ben agrees with this assessment,
and also opposes delaying the release.
I propose we start looking for a Release Manager for 22.2, with
tentative target date September 1, immediately. This was always my
plan, but Ben insists that he will complete this project by mid 2d
quarter. That means that we'll have
o a well-tested major feature, plus (I hope)
o various smaller projects, and
o work building on the widgets, GTK, and custom themes
for release late 3rd quarter. (Aside to Jan V: I haven't yet updated
the release status page concerning themes.)
Vin, Martin:
When should we open the 21.5 development branch? (My proposal is to
rename it to 22.1 when we're sure that the current release will be
22.0.) I have that tentatively scheduled for next week. Is that too
soon?
Do we know how to move the head of trunk to that branch? When should
we do that?
Note: this is separate from the Ben and Bill branchs for Mule/NT and
GTK respectively.
