Hi Cody, I suspect many of your questions may be answered in the documentation here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/internals/release-process/ Here's some comments from my experience with using django since its initial release, and recently making a concerted effort to submit code. On 24 October 2013 13:45, Cody Scott <cody.j.b.sc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I know that I can look at the 1.7 release notes to see what is to come in > the next release. > > How do django developers decide what features to work on? > I don't believe there's a specific roadmap for features. If someone writes a patch, it has a great chance to make it in. It's as simple as that (or, can be). > Is there a minimum time between releases? > >From the link above: "Minor release (1.1, 1.2, etc.) will happen roughly every nine months" > > Is there a minimum quota for fixed bugs for a release? > Critical bugs [such as data loss or crashes] and security fixes will warrant rapid release of a Micro version. Between Minor versions, they can vary a lot. > Is there ever a poll to see which features the community wants? > See the section "Phase one: feature proposal" Typically, a feature/ticket with code has a great chance to make it it. That said, a number of my changes that have made it into 1.7 were proposed and accepted in a matter of a few days. > Is there another way that developers get what the community wants? > Open a ticket, provoke discussion on the django-dev mailing list, and champion the ticket -- either by writing the code yourself, or finding someone to do it for you.
