Re: [gpsd-dev] Stable release plan

My two cents...

There are two types of projects.  I'll call them production and research.

In a research project, the idea is full speed ahead and release when it works.


In a production environment, you have users.  You need to coordinate updates 
with them.  In most cases, it works out best to release on a schedule.  You 
need the users to help test your new code.  They have to allocate time for 
that.  The idea is to coordinate schedules - find a slot that is convenient 
for both you and your users.

The schedule needs to leave room for testing and packaging.

That's assuming you have a team of developers adding new features.  You need 
to be sure that some users will test the new features.
