<SNIP> > Comments ? In the past [1] I expressed an interest in maintaining a "conservative release". That was before I realized that release management is a full-time job. Looking back, it's really is a full-time job. Perhaps not to other people. But I guess due to my limited experience and average intelligence, release management often consumes me full-time. I don't know if I would be around in the future to contribute anything. So during my time with the Sage community, I have endeavoured to document as much as possible many issues relating to Sage development: managing a release, doctesting the Sage library, source code management, coding conventions, docstring conventions, how to get involved in the Sage community, etc. By doing so, when I'm no longer active in the Sage community, documentation relevant to aspects of Sage development would still be around and not buried in the mailing list archives. As regards release schedule, in January 2010 Mozilla decided [2] to regularly ship new features together with bug fixes in its updates to Firefox. These just some of my thoughts.
