Hi,
In this mail, I want to share with you our situation, our problems, and our ideas. Thanks to Paul for triggering a needed discussion. The opportunities for Koha seem to be very big at the moment throughout the world and we are facing a lot of big decisions. I think the issues of more frequent releases is becoming more pressing. Increasingly we're all deploying 3.1. somethings or pre 3.2s or alphas because we need to respond to the needs of libraries more swiftly. Looking at perl's experience of having regular scheduled releases has convinced me that this is a good idea. The traditional feature driven release is driven more by marketing than user needs. Even if we can get regular unstable release points that might enables us to progress more constructively. I think we need to start thinking about technical and organizational issues for beyond 3.2 now. Possibly we should start working toward a 3.4 technical summit on irc where we could see if we can thrash out a plan.
