Hi, Here are some thoughts about releases and bug management. I think we miss some rules to decide when a new version of OJ has to be released, and that lack of visibility may be a disadvantage for OJ's adoption. The release rules should be linked to bug reports and feature requests, but bug re

Michael, I like the concept behind this suggestion. I only see a couple of obstacles to its implementation: [1] It requires that someone sort and maintain the bug-tracker list. [2] It requires some of us to quit working on out "pet functionality improvements' and to start fixing bugs. I don't th

I know Stefan will comment when he gets back from vacation, but in the meantime I'd like to know how we go about implementing this suggestion. What things do we need to change? Can someone give me a bulleted list of tasks? I guess I'm a little confused. Can someone put up some sample release rule
