Technically, there is no need to release the alpha even though we
already have the builds available; if other teams need more time, then
we just release later (eventually with more bug fixes).

I have nothing against this schedule in theory, I just want to mention
that this removes Ingo's as well as my work force from the release more
or less completely.
As the code is ready now mostly, I don't think waiting that long is
needed. I would just separate the needs of marketing/website then with
the development itself. Ie. we can do the alpha freeze earlier, and
then start a branch for the alpha where only bug fixes are applied
(ported from trunk).
Once the website and documentation is okay, we can do the release.
Bye,
Axel.
