Release planning [was: Bug Report]

Mats> So before a schedule we will need a list of things that is Mats> supposed to be in the release. Is there such a list or is it Mats> in the developers heads? As far as I know, only Ben has anything resembling a plan, and he's not talking much lately. And from the users' point of view, the developers sees releases as a vehicle for publishing their private projects, more than for serving users. For 21.4, there was a large backlog of projects that were mostly complete that were user-oriented features. However, in 21.5, although there are projects that are user-oriented (Xft, GTK2, Unicode support) at present the "just needs a little cleanup" code is basically technical or even pure research (eg, modules, KKCC). So I would say this is your chance to speak up and say what you want. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
