Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Better release strategy

Hi devs, I don't think that Monday is a good day for releases, since voting over the weekend is not a good thing. Thus, I propose to move the general release day to the Thursday of the week. The current release process doesn't really follow the VOTE rules, since the way it's done is: send vote mail at 10AM, wait a few hours, start the release around 1PM. The rule for VOTE emails is to wait for three days. Thus: - Send release VOTE on Monday - Prepare the release during the following three days (release plan, release notes) - Perform the maven release on Thursday, request tests for publishing the release (testing of the build) - Finalize the release on Friday (download, announcements, version update)
