Dear developers, It has been a nice warm fuzzy feeling, but the time has come to stop congratulating ourselves with the release of alpha 1. Let's get to work! ;-) At BeGeistert there was some discussion on feature requirements for Haiku R1, but as far as I know there was no discussion on where to go next (and in my opinion, as long as something has not been discussed on the mailing list it does not exist). There are roughly two options: a time based release and a feature based release. In the first case we will agree on a schedule and let time decide what goes in the next release. In that way, the next release will most likely be alpha 2. In the case of a feature based release, we will work on a feature list and release when those are satisfactory implemented. In this case the code determines when to release. This could potentially be beta 1 (if all the features for R1 are implemented). Note that the feature-based release does not mean that there should not be any form of scheduling. I think that if alpha 1 has shown us anything, is that there is use for a deadline in order to help developers prioritize their work. Anyway, I just want to start some discussion on the possibilities for the future. So please enter your opinions. Also, this is not a vote. +1 or -1 by itself are not meaningful contributions to a discussion. Kind regards, N>
