My feeling is we should focus on the release, not new features.
Having a new 'unofficial' release to sarge without string freeze sounds like
a good idea. For one thing, this would get broader testing of the new
kernels. The idea of doing that straight after Oldenburg sounds good.
IMHO, after that we should really focus on bugfixes and finalizing
translations and not do any more other changes until RC2 is out.
For Oldenburg I would propose to work on the major problems that are still
there (like old-world Mac's, the boot-2 floppy) and on preparing the
release (like deciding which translations to include).
I also think that having people together in Oldenburg and being able to
quickly ask if a certain para in the manual is still valid or should be
removed and what new arch-specific information maybe should be included,
could really give a boost to the manual.
Personally, I also plan to work on the possibility of using .po files for
manual translation and building ps/pdf/txt versions of the manual.
With regard to translation. If there are any components currently in SVN/Sid
that will _not_ make it to the Sarge release, we should allow translators
to update the translations for the version that _will_ be in the release
for Sarge. As I understand it, all translation work and corrections are
currently done against whatever is in SVN HEAD.
(So maybe work that won't make it to Sarge should be moved into a branch and
the version for Sarge should be made HEAD in preparation for a string
freeze.)
Cheers,
FJP
