Jacopo, thank you for your compliments,
However times are changing and continuous testing and continuous
deploying will take over 'approved' releases where upgrading is a
nightmare....

Hans

Not in itself: but it is wrong and against the ASF policies to push the users
to use unofficial versions like you are often doing (ignoring your
responsibilities as a PMC member) and adding a link from that page helps in
this direction. This is why I am against this.
you want to be the best pupil in the Apache school?
I guess that you forgot to add a smiley to the above sentence... but no, I am
simply working to help OFBiz be a project inline with the directions of the ASF.
But talking about schools, I also have something to say to you: study more,
read more, understand more, improve the quality of the work you contribute
(that is still surprisingly low after all these years) and be grateful and
respectful to the ASF, to the OFBiz project and to the fortune that made you a
committer and PMC of this important open source project.
Jacopo
I still think this is wrong not to mention it.

Thank you Hans,
the download page is intended to end users and we can't include there links to
download code that has not been officially approved; this was an issue we had
in the past and the ASF asked us to fix the page in the past.
For the trunk all the information is here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/ofbiz-source-repository-and-access.html
(but that page will have to be converted to html and become "more official").

This looks pretty good Jacopo,
congratulations.
However no mention of the latest trunk? That should be at least mentioned.

I have now updated the OFBiz download page with a new section containing the
tentative release schedule for each release:
http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html
Congratulations, we have now a plan (simple but effective and achievable) and
at least users now have a clear vision of the lifespan of the release branch
they are using and can plan in advance the migration of their custom instance.

For me also 6 months seems long enough for the 1st official release. I'm just
afraid: will we have not a lot of work to release so often (relases themself,
annunciations, site update and especially demos updates)
Anyway it seems we need to do it, maybe at the expense of other areas we are
working on (Jiras, users support, etc.)
It will take time for sure but working on releases should be the main goal of a
community within the ASF: a release is the only trusted way to publish the work
we do: if we fix a bug but we do not issue a release the users will not get
real benefit.
Sounds logical and good to me. It's time to go ahead regarding our way of doing
releases. Some time ago, due to our change of way (less using trunk), I was
afraid that committers activity would be lower, but it seems to be steady up...
so far...
