2.5 roadmap and schedule?
The current roadmap for Zope 2.5 sets an alpha release date for sometime in september, but is that still likely? Michael Bernstein.

Michael Bernstein.
Since today is Oct. 1, I would say... no :^) The "roadmap" serves as a high-level way for me to relay the basic plan for the next release to those in the community who don't pay day-to-day attention to zope-dev or zope-coders. It is also sometimes wrong, since I have to make a best-guess at dates based on circumstances that sometimes change without much notice. The dates are based on my best guesses at what resources will be available when, and sometimes those get pre-empted by things like customer engagements, etc. Hopefully my guesses will be less wrong as the community gets more actively involved. That will expand the resource pool which should help - but this will be a learning process. Brian Lloyd brian@zope.com Software Engineer 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com

From my POV, I don't mind that you guess wrong, it's just that the guesses aren't updated when it becomes apparent that they *are* wrong.
It would be nice if the plan for the next release could be updated every two weeks or so. So, what is your current best guess estimate for the alpha release of Zope 2.5? Michael.

I will try to be better about that. Unfortunately, the planning and resource mgmt tools that we use internally are totally disconnected from the online large-grained version of the plan that I have to maintain by hand.

I've updated the plan to reflect my best guess at this point of 15 Oct. for a1. Brian Lloyd brian@zope.com Software Engineer 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com
