Hello world, I wanted to open up a discussion as how to proceed with the Drupal 4.7.0 release schedule. There are two aspects I'd like us to brainstorm about: 1. When do we release a second beta (or a release candidate)? Given the number of critical/annoying bugs we fixed since beta 1 has been released, I think a second beta might be in order. The sooner, the better? 2. The number of bugs that need fixing grows steadily: http:// drupal.org/project/issues? projects=3060&versions=9728&states=1,8,13,14,2. How do we encourage more people to help fix bugs? How do we help people fix bugs? I think there is a need for people dedicated to helping Drupal.org users turn forum topics into bug reports, as well as for people dedicated to reviewing, categorizing and harvesting bug reports. Is the problem description clear? Is the problem easy to reproduce? Is it really critical? If not, help them improve their bug report. Replying with one-liners like 'File a bug report!' or 'RTFM' is not considered helping in this context. The goal is to assist, to be helpful, to pull them on board and hopefully to make them "stick". Similarly, I think there is room for people that review patches like teachers would. In short, we need friendly hosts that help people make their first steps in their Drupal career. Suggestions and concrete action points are welcome, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
