I ‎would think we should cut new releases when we are ready to do so, rather than after an arbitrary amount of time. Some projects (ex. Debian, Firefox, much commercial software) that have very frequent commits benefit from a set release schedule.  CDE has considerably‎ less churn to it, so we should release when we have accumulated a certain degree of substance --- whenever that may be.

Of course, I think we accumulated that substance long ago.

We could perhaps consider more frequent dev releases between‎ stable releases? That would help show activity if necessary, without potentially reducing stable releases to vaporware.

By the way, I don't know the packaging requirements for Debian... are you required to package a "stable" release?

My vote is for a new release, however I have my reservations on waiting another 1-2 years for the next release. I would like to get the debian package out as soon as reasonably possible, so could we switch to a release schedule of roughly 6 months from now on? That way people don't think we are a dead project.

Thank you for your time,
-Chase

As the title says, I'd like to propose a "stable" release of CDE in two
weeks.

cde-next will be merged into master after release.

Objections? Affirmations?
