I've been wondering about why I don't think I've ever seen an announcement of a release candidate on DistroWatch for example. > With the current participation level, I just don't see it as possible. > Remember, we switched from quarterly to bi-annual releases for a reason. > We simply didn't have the man power, CPU power, nor time to do vigorous > enough testing in the much more shortened time frame.

Well, I hope this year's turn out will be better, cause I'm planning on using 2007.0 as a starting point. I will continue to test 2007.0 to see if at least it boots on my hardware :) Patrick(DrEeevil) has kindly offered use of his servers at http://gentooexperimental.org/ and has expressed interest in stage3's as have some other people earlier in this thread. My plan is to start off with amd64 install cd only to keep work load down. This will include an amd64 stage3. Probably there will be stage3's for x86 and maybe another architecture, I think Patrick mentioned PPC, unless they turn out to be too much trouble. I'm hoping to do something between weekly and monthly releases. It would be great if I could have at least one other person to do this with me and maybe some release engineering support for when I have a silly question.
