[Koha-devel] A case against our release dates

[Philippe Blouin]

Of course I'm coming with my northern hemisphere perspective, and have 
no horse in the race really as being far from RM, but I always thought 
those dates were the best available.

Seems earlier (04, april) makes it closer to the hackfest you referred.  
Later makes it closer to summer holidays.

Were you considering breaking the equal split in time, having a small 
and a big release each year?  November for the big, and march for the 
small, the hackfest starting the next cycle ? Thinking outside the box...
