>I agree with the already said: the minor releases (alpha-2, alpha-3, beta-2, >beta-3 etc) should be >time-based, but major releases (first beta, first >release) should be feature-based. yes, I agree with this too. Only thing I will add is let us say that going from Alpha2 to Beta1 (feature based release) is going to take 12 months, to add in additional Alpha releases ( Alpha3 ( and Alpha4, etc.) ) to show Haiku is alive, keep excitement and interest high, get news coverage and keep end-users ( and developers ) happier with newer, stable releases on a timely basis. In other words, when doing feature based release between major versions and it takes long time for release, do 1 or more additional minor time based releases in between.
