What about twice a year (max)? We don't need to show we are a fast
rolling project all of a sudden. We just need to have an occasional
release so the developers know what they are working for.

Right. Let's focus on targets and let the release depend on whether
these targets are met. As I've stated before I don't care for release
schedules for this project. I care for actual improvements and am quite
willing to schedule the releases around this.

We should define some targets for the next release, work on these, have
a pre release and give translators some time to catch up, then do a
release. If this happens within a year from the upcoming release I am
quite happy.

Leonard.
