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.

Cheers
Colin
