Hi Tabeth, Are you interested in helping out with any of these things?
This thread is meant more as a “who’s prepared to pick up which issue to finish before 3.0”, not a wish-list of things that would be nice to have. On scheduled releases, we’ve tried that in the past, and we settled on 1-2 releases per year which fits our velocity. Quarterly releases probably exceed what we can reasonably ship in that time. Just bugfix releases would be nice, but the release machinery is not inconsequential, so we wanna be careful with project resources. That said, if you wanna help, we can always do with more release engineering help :) Best Jan — > On 7.
