The plan looks good. I would complement it with two innovations, that
would stay in place from now to the final release date:
1) Link to the latest snapshots from the openoffice.org website. We've
been too conservative with this, to the point that even our community
members cannot find them easily. Details are being discussed on the
Infra list, but it is acceptable that the main download page has a link
to an intermediate page that contains all suitable disclaimers and links
to daily/snapshot builds, specifying that they are to be used by active
community members for testing.
Interesting change. OK, when Infra is now fine with linking to the dev
builds from the public download webpage, then I can insert a respective
box. Is linking to the CWiki page or the buildbots preferred?
2) (an idea from another PMC member) Hold 2-3 informal meetings on
Google Hangout or similar platform, where main QA volunteers, developers
and volunteers involved in the release process can review the status
together, to make sure we are all on the same page for the upcoming
release. Even with a small group this would be nice to have, it allows a
more effective communication. No decisions would be taken, but the dev
list would be informed of what was discussed. Probably the best moment
is in the European afternoon, so for example Wednesday or Thursday at
4PM for the next 2-3 weeks. Could it work?
I haven't heard of this idea until today. Is it listed somewhere on dev@?
Thanks
Marcus
