Let me follow that up by saying - That is my opinion on what Enlightenment needs in a release manager - and of course a release manager can be different things and done different ways. Further I didn't mean it in any way to be an indictment of you Simon, you do a good job with the release procedure. In a project where there doesn't seem to be a clear vision/set of goals and there are a lot of different philosophies, doing releases based on a consensus of readiness will be difficult. Mike was successful in getting releases out because he planned them and determined the work - and I would like to see someone step up that can be of that mold.
