We're having the Inkscape meeting here at LGM
I've put together a page on the website for the next release:
http://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/
I've included some details as well as some firm dates for the next release which I want us to hit. Bryce hasn't signed up to a fixed schedule yet, but it's time to get this nailed down and I think we're ready to get a release out now, let alone in a few months. So we should certainly be able to hit it.
What are your thoughts?
Hi Martin, I like that you made a short page where we can check the release status and rough planning. Better than browsing through the list's mails! (the big task now is keeping it up-to-date of course)
Important point: you forgot Josh Andler as the release manager!!! About the dates, from your mail I take it that you didn't discuss with Bryce and Josh? I think it would have been better to do so first. It comes across a bit rude to bypass them and put it on the website just like that. They've put in a lot of effort in this release, please coordinate the content of that page with them. (What does your role as "supervisor" mean?)
For the New Features / bug fixes : I think you can scrap those and point to the release notes instead. What is more interesting to put on this page is links to open bugs, or focus points. So that we know what to work on to move the release along. Perhaps simply a copy of the release status mail.
ciao, Johan
