Hi José, in general, I very much enjoyed the overall energy that went into the release. Especially our new developers (and I note that many of them come from the Win world) contributed fresh ideas and made LyX 1.6 a very worthy release. I really enjoy working with this release. Also, from what I see in the young 1.6.x cycle, 1.6.0 seems to be relatively stable, given the loads of new features and core revisions that went into it.
Also, I think you did a very good job, never discouraging anybody from contributing their ideas. The only thing I'd propose to change (and here is the "maintainer" in me speaking): we could be a bit more rigid if some stage in the development cycle is reached, starting some more rigid "bug fixing only" stage eventually. Secondly, I think that we should reconsider the meaning of the term "release candidate" :-) In my opinion, a release candidate is something that is really intended to be released as a final version, if no really crucial problem occurs while testing it. All only my 2¢, of course.
