Hey gang,
We have a discussion going in the CDT community and we are currently planning out how to achieve a 6 month release cycle. The feeling is that we need to get new features out faster to our users. The year long wait we currently have is making releases sluggish and I fear it's slowing down growth in our community. A 6 month cycle should infuse us with a little more energy, so goes the hope.
I mentioned CDT's plans on twitter and a number of senior members of our larger Eclipse community thought it might be a good idea for other projects at Eclipse and maybe for the train itself. And I think so too.
Instead of continuing that discussion on twitter, which is fun and everything, I thought we should bring that to a greater audience and see what other projects thought and whether it's something we should bring to the Planning Council and the rest of the EMO.
I know there are a number of projects already releasing off stream during the year, but bringing things together more often might be a help to many others. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
Doug.
