Hey all, Given the delay last week in producing the API-frozen 0.9.4, we are going to push back 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 from the original schedule[0], but leave the string freeze and the 0.10.0 releases where they were. Thus the new schedule looks like this: Monday 07 Nov: 0.9.5 release - API same as the last release Monday 21 Nov: 0.9.6 release and string freeze - For this release, the API changes built up in bugzilla are applied - Also at this point the API is frozen for 0.10.0, barring emergencies - Strings frozen as well -- time to translate Monday 28 Nov: 0.10.0 prerelease Monday 05 Dec: 0.10.0 release - See you at the pub :-) There are some tasks that need doing though. We need to assess the state of our core documentation (i.e. triage) and then update the docs (in that order). I think that by reviewing the docs we can avoid having to do a formal API review; having to write about how to use something should bring any issues to light. We should do a review of strings marked for translation as well... I'm getting less enthusiastic about this, so someone will have to say "yes" to doing such reviews for it to happen. That's it for core. For plugins, we want to make sure that code in the base and good modules is actually of high quality. That means we will need to do triage on those modules and identify the parts that need work. Then if those plugins and libraries are not fixed before the API freeze on 21 November, they should be punted to -bad. We don't want people modelling their code off of bad code and then having to come asking questions later about why isn't it working. Bad code burdens us all. Today on IRC we will be doing some doc triaging. It will be a first time so we'll have to figure out how this will all work. Then next week we can update docs as we have time, and perhaps on Wednesday do a triage of plugins-base. Further bulletins as events warrant. Comments welcome!
