Sounds like a reasonable process to me.

Yikes! Please don't :)

If I may offer a humble suggestion here: Could we please first agree on what
to release and what may constitute a good reason to plan a release? My point
here is that it would be really nice if the entire project was working
alongside the same plan. Right now we have the C++ code going in one
direction, the Java code going into a somewhat different direction, the .NET
code playing catchup, and I don't even know what the python and ruby code
bases are. 

For example, it would seem sensible, while the protocol spec is in flux, to
align one way or another the project releases with the protocol releases.
That is to say, if we define protocol version Y as being of interest to the
project, either target it all, or don't target it at all. Otherwise, getting
the interop in place just among our different code bases will be too
painful, not to even speak of interoping with other protocol
implementations.

Any comments?
