No it is not. That's a confusion I caused by calling for VOTE too early. I explained that below. > > What will the next version number be? Have we agreed on a versioning > number scheme?

I think the biggest problem I had with the guide and the VOTE example you gave on IRC was that it seemed like a VOTE is also a call for testing because in the email, it seemed you're supposed to VOTE after you tried out the test procedure. So I jumped a bit on the VOTE call on Friday, thinking we're late on calling for people to test. Brett gave a detail explanation why that's not the case. We're currently waiting for all of the tests to wrap up before calling for a VOTE. Other items, such as release notes, NEWS, NOTICE, etc, have been assigned to various people to do. You should find that as tasks on CloudStack's Jira. > > 3.
