Unless the release is already ready before we start the countdown, I
doubt we can do something like this.
Well maybe this is the way to go. Once Alpha 1 is ready maybe we
could then start a 7 day countdown to the release. That way we
aren't forcing any deadlines on anyone and we could still have a few
days for a marketing campaign.
Bye,
