One angle that we could take is time based release planning, like GNOME and Fedora do: plan to do one or two releases per year on a rigid schedule. The LilyPond 2.11 vs. 2.12 jump has been delaying for too long, but I generally do a biweekly release, which is stable enough to reasonably be called 'stable', and it has worked very well so far. The precondition for this is that there is a good test-suite so we can be sure that a release that passes the tests is good. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
