Let's explore some ways to improve that situation then. Part of the support for this probably falls into John Poelstra's lap. To me, this means whip-cracking for folks to nail down features in time for us to document them properly, so those documents can be translated in time, so a package can be rolled... etc., etc. It's clear that you've been saddled with the brunt of creating these documents for the past several releases, and as we've both noted before, neither of us scales well. We need to spend more time *ahead* of the Alpha release lining up people to help with these tasks. This would alleviate the need for both of us to scurry at the end of each release, creating more work across the board. Although we want as up-to-date Release Notes as possible, there is some value in visibility, i.e. shouting at developers to get their forecasts in at a reasonable timeframe. And we should stop rewarding the continual tendency around various parts of the project to flood last-minute changes after the RC stage. We need to get that demon under control to achieve a truly stellar release. -- Paul W.
