Re: [development] Drupal 6 release schedule

Hello world,

I'm mailing to talk a bit more about the Drupal 6 release schedule. Drupal 5 had a 3 month development period, followed by a 5 month code freeze. For Drupal 6, I'd like to propose a 4 month development period, followed by a code freeze. As with Drupal 5, the code freeze will be guaranteed to be at least 2 months to give module authors time to plan and catch up. In practice, and depending on the state of Drupal core at the code freeze date, it might take more than two months to get things stable.

Sounds good? Is that 4 months starting today? Or 4 months starting 2 weeks ago? ;-) The morning of June 1st as an official 'code freeze' date would be easy to mark on a calendar...
