Personally I'd like to see all security issues solved before a new release.
There also are some other things I have not in head just right now (Colors and
localisation for the calendar is one of them)
Anyway if we are sure we will be able to fix all security issues before
freezing this release (hey, I did not say 9.3 ;o) I think it
should be ok.
By this last sentence I mean we may create a branch in march 2009. But this
will not imply that the release will be numbered 9.3.
Remember Ubuntu 6.06 should have been 6.04 ...

Why postpone it?
Will we not be able to close this in february/march?

In Ubuntu world they use LTS concept (Long Time Support) which means 5 (yes
five!) years of guaranteed support on these specific versions (there are
already 2 of them : 6.06 and 8.04).
Of course OFBiz is not an OS and I think we will never support a release 5
years (how could we do with the lack of manpower we still have despite of
all wonderful efforts we have seen taking place since the beginning of this
project).
So I guess we will simply have releases (or versions, like 9.3, but I guess
we will postpone its release, hence the number will change) and the trunk as
it's already done.
In one word a version will be
either
trunk.releaseNumber
either
versionNumber.releaseNumber (like 9.3.999999)
Note that the footer shows already this information if you run the ant
svninfo target after your build
If we are all ok with this description (David?) I could add this to
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan
And I think we should at least update title in
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+4.X+and+5.0

interesting. so how do you denote a minor release or update?
Bruno Busco sent the following on 2/22/2009 3:35 AM:
Sorry,
I did not understand your real question.
We have decided to use a release numbering scheme similar to UBUNTU.
9.3 means March 2009

2009/2/22 BJ Freeman <bjf...@free-man.net>:
so why did ofbiz jump from 4.0 to 9.3?
Bruno Busco sent the following on 2/22/2009 2:59 AM:
Well,
the unresolved issues scheduled for 9.3 are:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=12310500&fixfor=12313602&resolution=-1&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC
OFBIZ-2133 has a patch ready and is actually waiting for a review.
