I'm concerned that we've gone straight to discussing the "how" without a clear picture of the "why". What would we want to accomplish with a change in the release schedule? mattdm said: > So, first, putting together a release is a lot of work.

When it's so frequent, it doesn't feel like news. The first point is a good question, but what if the answer is "no, we're not wasting some of that work"? For the second point, the solution could be to do a better job on the marketing side, or to focus on a few really kickass features for a given release. I'm not opposed to making changes, but I'd like to know what it is we're trying to accomplish in a semi-concrete manner. Then we can figure out the changes necessary to get there.
