What this means is that we're going to move the 30 planned issues (which btw were not really planned - We moved in there everything we thought should be fixed "ideally" but without considering manpower - thus it's quite logical that it's not matching and that we have to move them to B2). We would need at least 1 month more to fix those remaining 30 issues (+ the new ones we would add) and that's not going to help us. In addition there are users out there waiting for some stuff that are already fixed in B1 and it's better if they get it earlier than later. It'll also provide faster feedback for us. In summary this is all about deciding to do timeboxing or not. I'm strongly in favor of doing it as you've guessed but if other committers don't think it's a good idea anymore then we should vote not to do it and we'll tally the results. To go further I don't think there's any other possible mode in open source development as usually the majority of committers work when they have time... and releases never get made... This is what plagues the majority of OSS projects (check how many are at 0.9 and for how long they've been in that state ;-)). WDYT? cool :) Thanks -Vincent
