Well done Justin +1 in principle, with the following comments
1) I think the tone of the introduction could be a little more positive, its really about supporting each other 2) A useful perspective might be about managing paid project risks 3) I think there is an over-emphasis on all proposals being equal - i still think resourced activities (funded or committed by people with a history of delivery) should hold sway - JIRA allows assignment to a release - lets just leave things people aren't signing up to without a release. 4) A timed release allows people to make a commitment - I will try for X - this is a key resourcing issue though I accept. My impression is the release cycle takes up too much time of the key wunderkinds out there - is there anything we can do to improve this? 5) minor point releases 1.7.x can be used to fast track a fix outside the roadmap 6) major releases can be used for critical issues with backwards compatibility implications - and features whose time frame is hard to predict because of the number of dependencies (ISO Feature support, new UI etc) - the trick here is to use the Road Map to minimise the number of these we need by allowing collaborative effort on multiple aspects These ideas are roughly in line with the proposal IMHO Rob On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 3:45 AM, Justin Deoliveira <jdeol...@opengeo.org> wrote: > Hi all, > > Moving forward on this proposal: > > http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+30+-+Roadmap+Process > > I believe all feedback has been incorporated, and generally been > positive.
