We have generally used a release branch for bug-fixes. Those who are interested 
in keeping with stable bug-fixes are suggested to use the openbabel-2-3-x 
release branch. I fully believe releasing bug fix releases with every commit 
will drive people crazy.

Also, the version numbering (e.g., 2.4) generally refers to fairly major 
releases. That said, if someone is willing to help make 2 releases a year, that 
would be most welcome.

As far as a release checklist, I thought there was one on the wiki, but I don't 
see it. I'll check through my notes and put something up, but with travel and 
vacation, it may not happen for a week or so.

Thanks and best regards,
-Geoff

Great - I would be happy to do that. I would suggest looking at cutting a 
release on the current master and as bugs are fixed we can create new hotfix 
releases. My personal preference is to release bugfixes early and often - 
perhaps as often as every bugfix commit. I would additionally suggest creating 
new minor releases every 6 months or so. 

I as well as other folks on my team will be happy to assist in doing so. Do you 
have a release procedure or anything outlined already? How would you like to go 
about coordinating this activity?
 
Mind if we (the community) ask a bit more about what you're planning on doing?

Unfortunately I don't think I can comment much beyond what I've said at the 
moment.
