Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] Release schedule and process [was 1.0.6 release]

I put a rough target date in the tracker which you can see on the Roadmap
(http://dotnetrdf.org/tracker/Projects/Roadmap.aspx?pid=1)

I am currently scheduling releases every 2 months so 1.0.6 is currently
scheduled for end of July.  I can of course push out a pre-release build if
that is a usable option for you?

I prefer not to do releases too often since a release takes on average half
a day to put together and publish but I only have half a day a week to work
on dotNetRDF so too frequent releases means I can't actually get any
fixes/new features done.

Longer term the best way forward would be for me to make it possible for
other people to carry out all the necessary release steps (which requires
various bits of auth setup and documentation write up) so others can
volunteer to carry out releases.  Since I've been working using branches for
all feature/bug fix development and only merging to default when things are
working therefore in principle with the necessary stuff done anyone could
cut a release when they see fit.  Obviously if we want to move to that model
longer term then we likely need to have some process in place to allow
people to vote for/against a release e.g. if they have an important bug they
want to get a fix in for.
