Hi,

some time ago we have discussed a language only release on base of
4.0.1. And even a language release requires a lot of work. Until today I
see 3 potential languages ready which is not enough from my perspective.
But on the other side we have some nice stuff in place that should be
released asap, for example the iAccessibility support which is a great
step forward and will help a lot of people.

I would like to propose a new release AOO 4.1 early next year and as
soon as possible. Taking into account that Christmas and the related
holidays in many countries will slow down all the activities a little
bit I can think of the following:

Jan 10, 2014    features freeze
Jan 13, 2014    translation freeze for beta     
Jan 20, 2014    feature FVT finish      
Jan 21, 2014    4.1 beta candidate, with major features and languages
Jan 27, 2014    4.1 beta release for public review
Jan 27 - ?      full regression testing and bug fixing
?       RC1     Feb 28, or later?
        GA      ?


I really would like to see the iAccessibility improvements publicly
available as soon as possible because from my perspective it is a
further huge milestone for AOO. And I would like to support the new
languages as soon as possible and hopefully we can have a few more. Some
are very close to be ready.

Opinions and feedback is welcome and I hope may of you can share my view.

Juergen
