Hello.

Its almost 5 months since we released 1.21 and I stepped down.

When talking with people I got help offers on the release handling but
no-one stepped up to fully take a lead on this. I start to get the
feeling that this might need to be handled with a smoother transition of
knowledge and work.

Jonathan and Mike both offered help and others also expressed that they
would be willing to do their share towards a release. I count on you to
make this work :-)

To get back to time based releases we should get working on 1.22 soon
(and not  block ourselves with $FEATURE not being ready right now)

The 3 months based schedule has been putting to much load onto the
project with release stuff. At least that is my opinion. After 1.22 is
out we should think about increasing this. Maybe 4, 5 or even 6 months?
Up to discussion.

After 5 full months of development I think we should allow two weeks
before we freeze to allow everybody to get their work in order. Fixes
will follow over the next weeks to get it ready.

Here is my release schedule proposal to get us started. Comments?
