TENTATIVE! TENTATIVE! TENTATIVE!

The significant advances of XSCE 5.1 changed the game. An interim v5.5 release Might possibly precede v6.0 during the Spring of 2015? But just for the record, the original proposal per Oct 29th 2013's proposal was:

  • 6 Dec 2013 31 Oct 2014 March 2015: Feature Freeze
  • 1 Jan 2014 30 Nov 2014 April 2015: Release Candidate
  • 14 Jan 2014 31 Dec 2014 May 2015: 6.0 Final Release

Note XSCE's 6.0 Spec remains in serious flux, with many possible new features emerging from October 2013's San Francisco Sprint, our Los Angeles meetup Feb 21-23, 2014 and much hard word since -- and ongoing -- inspired by schools' input from Haiti, Nepal, Malaysia, Ghana and beyond!


I think it's mostly upto us, the dates. If we say, lets freeze the feature-set at point 'X', we could estimate the amount of effort involved in:

  • Testing installation in the few platforms we support. (no idea)
  • Documentation (2-3 weeks *at least*)
  • Announce (2-4 days)
  • Perhaps, (or maybe not), the website could be part of the 'release' (that's another 1-2 weeks of work, separate from documentation)? --Anish
