It's time to decide what goes into 4.1.2 and what doesn't. Not in terms of specific bugfixes (we have the standard process of nominating release blockers for this and I don't plan to change it), but in terms of categories. The following is a realistic list of what we can have in 4.1.2. Shall we take it as the overall plan for 4.1.2?
In general I see it the same way. Some comments inline.
2. Features * Windows 10: Millions of our users will run Windows 10 within a few weeks. OpenOffice is reported to work smoothly on Windows 10 pre-releases. Should any major Windows 10 incompatibilities appear, they should be fixed in 4.1.2.
When we want to react on specific bug reports (we should do this in any case as Windows is still the most favorite platform) then we create automatically a release schedule of a few weeks after that date - which is for me late summer. Just to be sure we understand the same.
BTW: Release date of Win10 is July, 29th.
3. Localization * Existing translations: Pootle is now tracking the 4.2.0 release, so translators do not have an immediate way to fix translations for 4.1.2. There is a possibility to check whether we can reuse the 4.2.0 strings for 4.1.2, but due to the version clash I would prefer to fix strings upon request, in the SDF files directly and only in the case of major, well-defined bugs (example: the Italian version has a typo in a main menu item; it is fixed in Pootle for 4.2.0 AND we can edit the SDF file manually to fix it for the 4.1.x line).
This has also the advantage (when we don't get too many change requests) that we know in detail what is changing.
