Does anyone else have a suggestion on > what we can do to produce a more reliable .0 release in less time? Here are a couple of ideas: 0. As you say, make it known to the public. Have people test their in-development applications using a beta. 1. Start platform testing on day 1 of beta. Last minute fixes for AIX or UnixWare are really becoming old jokes. 2. Have a complete account of the changes available at the start of beta, so people know what to test. 3. Use a bug-tracking system so that "open items" are known early and by everyone. 4. Have a schedule. Not "We're looking at a release early in the later part of this year.", but dates for steps such asfeature freeze then, proposals for open issues fielded then, string freeze then, release candiate then. 5. If need be, have a release management team that manages 0-4. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
