We would have to determine what of the in-progress features could be included, update documentation (which the tutorials are undergoing a pretty major overhaul),
Yeah, I'm also currently in the process of converting the translations to PO without which it would be a pain to update them to new strings in the originals (equivalent XML translation editors are not mainstream enough IMO). It's a slowish process.
It seems appropriate to me to bring something up that we haven't discussed in a while. Is anyone else interested in getting on the Gnome release schedule? It makes the most sense to me as it seems the "major" distros try to synch with it as well.
Being on the Gnome release schedule would give us a regimented 6 month release cycle. It has the potential for us to really streamline our release process by having a posted schedule for feature freeze, bug fixing, testing, string freeze, etc. Obviously if we feel it's better to cut a release sooner, that's no problem. But, this way gives us an "at most" (which we could still stray from if need really exists) timeframe.
I think it would be better, yes. I always feel a bit rushed when someone asks about doing a release. :)
And if we do entertain the idea of the Gnome/6 month schedule, it would make sense for us to have all SoC projects in a branch.
It then would be worth to write an Inkscape-specific SVK guide which will help streamlining working on a branch as well.
