We will certainly do a retrospective like this from an engineering
perspective in the ESC call tomorrow - clearly there were several
lessons we already learned from this release, but getting these better
tied together would be a useful plan.
Sophie was coming up with a better timeline / set of deadlines for the
marketing / organisational things around the release put together which
(I hope) would help improve communication between teams and general
timeliness. Failing that - having a developers in the marketing calls
earlier would be helpful I think.
Discovering a load of un-translated strings very very late in the day
(from the .ui files) was another late-discovered, one-off problem
impacting translation completeness - ultimately the software is built by
humans so there will always be some problems: so far my impression is
that the release has rather reasonable quality for a .0 release - with
few-to-no catastrophic / brown-paper-bag type bugs: which is good.
Hopefully unit testing is helping with that.
HTH,
Michael.
