Don't underestimate us. Say better 2014. Jokes aside, please allow
some time for us to do our work.

Right. Just make sure any _needed_ (backwards-incompatible) change in
code is made in translations as well.

Yes as long as we have 1-2 weeks to finish everything after the rest
is finished.

If plans to release include forking the stable branch, I would like
that also the translation branch is forked at the same time. Otherwise
it is nearly unmanageable.

why bother?  the two-week release candidate takes care of this.

no, we've never bothered with that in the past, and this would

yes


I'd be tempted to add "update LSR to 2.14", but:
a) that's not likely to happen due to lack of interest amongst
active users (this isn't a developer-only task!)
b) we've never bothered with that before

Tasks remaining for 2.16 release?

2012-01-26 Thread David Kastrup

Well, here is what I can think off my head.

a) feature freeze.  Nothing added that requires documentation changes.

b) get rid of all critical issues

c) release candidate(s)

d) proofread the docs for obvious mistakes

e) make sure all appropriate regtests are there

f) update the snippets for stuff that could now be done easier

g) get the translations up to par where there are translation workers

h) release.

As far as I can see, the snippet _code_ is not subject to translation
issues, so e) can be pretty much done in parallel.  Translation work
strictly speaking depends on everything else being frozen, but some
overlap should be tolerable.
