Hi,
I'd like to propose that we have a short XE 2.6 release. The rationale is that
we've been developing lots of new features in the past releases and I think it's
time to stabilize what we have. By stabilize I mean:
- fix bugs
- homogenize UI
- clean up stuff (refactoring, etc)
I'd like to also commit some changes to the velocity templates and skin
to improve the support for portlet integration. Hope this is fine. In addition we
have 2 features we had planned for 2.5 which have slipped and we could finish them in 2.6
too (Sergiu said he was almost done with the "Email this page" feature and
didn't have the time to slip it in the 2.5):
- Email this page: Sergiu
- Recent Activity (refactoring of Recent Changes based on the Activity Stream): Raluca +
Caty + JV to apply the patch
The idea would be to have the following dates:
- 2.6RC1: 1st of November 2010 (there's no M1)
- 2.6 final: 18h of November
If we agree, is there anyone who'd like to be the release manager for this release?
If nobody volunteers I can do it.
If we agree, I'll send another mail afterwards with some ideas for XE 2.7 and a
potential XE 3.0 release. Note that XE 2.6 would be a first step in stabilizing XE for an
upcoming 3.0 release :) But even without this vision doing a short stabilization release
from time to time is always a good think I believe. It's also not too long so that
people don't need to hold new stuff for too long.
Here's my +1

Thanks,
