Yes, it would be a nice idea to nail it down, how about this;
End of Sept - Feature Freeze
End of Oct - String Freeze, only Bugfixes
Mid-Nov - Release 1.8
We could start doing 1.7.x releases (say one every two weeks) when the
feature freeze starts in order to get feedback from testers. This would
also give documentors/translators a lot of time to do their thing. It
would also allow for some slippage and still get a release out before
the end of the year.
One thing I'd like to bring up tho, which is sorta related to this is
that I am at present 'owner' of several bugzilla categories for which I
have limited knowledge of how to fix or even tell if they are really a
bug. It'd be nicer for at least the release timeframe to have someone
who can tell looking at bugzilla to assess the bug reports.
