releasing beta every 2 weeks doesn't solve anything because the main problem is not absence of bug reports but the fact that most of us have no time for fixing them. freezing is good idea and i already retarget many enh requests. for beta release i made small list of bugs and it could be done in short time when there is an interest in fixing them. generally speaking i dont see much merit in release some beast full of bugs - right now i'm at the institute where the whole network is built upon opensuse linux and all machines have in this moment lyx 1.6.0. there is no force in this world to get proper lyx version in stable ubuntu series, because of stability policies and nobody cares that the version they actually ship is due to qt 4.6 unstable crap. my edification from this is that while "stable" distros have no problem to adapt 1.6.0 (instead of using stable 1.5.7) they wont update upcomming fixes. so better to release 2.0 later than fix things in 2.0.1. > Regarding the meeting there is only one way to have it here in Freiburg: > - meet this year (don't know where I am next year) > - rent a house in the black forest (this is the only way the accommodation > is payable) > Drawbacks: > - we won't have Internet connection > - we meet before LyX 2.0 is out (it is better to meet after 2.0 is released > to focus on bug fixes, to make decisions for the next release and to > prevent that we introduce last-minute changes) looks like we have very opposite views ;) i asked about meeting just because of the possibility to meet before 2.0 is out. my proposal would be also that the main topic is polish relase and fix remaining bugs - of course dunno whether other devs would like it this way.... but i see your point about next release choices etc. no internet is not such a big deal in case we have some small wifi router to setup local network. the key question whether you are in a mood to organize such an event, Juergen won't help from what i read... pavel
