Ok, that's sounds great ;-) Again, is there any volunteer to look for Public domain sounds, to listen sounds for other GPL games, ... ? >>> If it becomes a custom to release every 6 months (or some other fixed >>> cycle) people will never feel that their work is in vain, if they miss >>> this release they will get into the next. >>> >> I have thought about releasing every 6 months too (good for integration >> in most linux distributions).

I don't see the difference between what you suggest and what I suggest. I suggest branching the trunk one month before the release. I think 2 weeks is not enough for all translators and packagers to do their jobs.
