OK, this is going to be my last post on this for today, at least. But really! The way you phrase it, you would think nothing worked. Try to develop a sense of perspective. > (Whatever happened to the bug-fix sprint?) > > It's a little disheartening to watch the Adium Trac and see tickets > closed/resolved/fixed by the minute and then come to the Django Trac > and watch the tickets pile up. (Yes, I know, different scope, etc > etc.) Well, let's see. A random sample from Trac... tickets from this month. About 125 closed and 160 opened, in 26 days. Neither is a trivial number and this has been a bit of a quiet month for ticket closing, since we've all been busy for various reasons. Plus, pure numbers obviously don't tell the whole story: some of the closed tickets have been very difficult and necessary foundations for future work, regardless of whether they scratch your particular itch or not; not every problem that gets worked on has an associated ticket; those numbers don't count tickets that we had interaction with -- reviewing patches, requesting information, etc -- that were neither opened or closed this month; the list goes on... So I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make here. > Seems like this is a decision between marketing and engineering: Do we > stamp a release number on it to appease management or do we wait and > put out a stable release with the features and changes that developers > have requested? Release management is a little more faceted than that. You do understand that any Open Source project has multiple releases, right? Putting out periodic releases to act as checkpoints, regardless of whether it is the ultimate, be-all-and-end-all release has benefits beyond "appease management". That's why they are called development releases. It's also why they aren't called 1.0.
