Like all of us involved with the project, I am a volunteer. Due to this,
I can not provide an expected release date. Releases, as we know are
community efforts. We'll release when we feel 4.2.0 is ready. ...
This looks ideal to me. I would like to learn the release processes, and
try to document them as completely as possible. I would prefer to learn
by watching and helping someone who already knows how it is done
That's fantastic news, Kay (and Patricia)!
I've just built trunk and committed initial support -still needing work-
for a new language for 4.2.0. And when the time comes for assigning
subtasks for 4.2.0 I'll be ready to do my part.
Patricia: I will surely respect your preferences, but if you'd like to
practice "emergency" (or "bugfix" in general) releases then the best way
would be to focus on a 4.1.3 release. 4.2.0 won't happen soon anyway,
and based on my experience I foresee that all issues will be common
(except localization, and except scope of code changes, much narrower in
4.1.3). So, if you wish, you can be an "apprentice" release manager for
4.2.0 and a "full" release manager for 4.1.3 at the same time, with the
same processes and discussions. If you coordinate with Kay the overhead
on you and the community will be minimal, and we could release both to
our users. As I probably already wrote,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2 is a good
starting point if you need an overview.

Andrea.
