Hi all,

I wanted to ask for everyone's input on a couple matters:
- tasks owners
- spreading out the load
- community participation
- correctness of membership page

In more detail:
- We have tasks at http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning_2fTasks and
had a meeting during the last cycle and stuck our names to tasks.  Do
we want to change it up some?

- So, last cycle we spread out the load more on making the unstable
releases, which also provides us with some redundancy in case any one
of us gets too busy.  Should we do the same with stable releases? 
Kjartan's done a really good job with those and maybe we just want to
leave things be, but it'd be nice to at least have any extra necessary
details up at http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning_2fMakingARelease
(honestly, I don't know if there are any extra needed details or not).

- We've talked before about trying to involve the community more. 
http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning_2fTasks has a number of
"delegate to community" tasks.  Should we announce this a little more
widely and see if we kind find some suckers^W volunteers for those
tasks?

- Is http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/membership.html correct?  In
particular it says that "It's probably a good idea for approximately
half of the membership to change every 6 months to allow many people
to experience a full release cycle and learn about the release
process. This would also avoid stagnation."  Personally, I think 1
year turnover would be a little too quick, though turnover is probably
good in general.  Should it be changed to a different time?  Removed
altogether?  Also, is the membership list correct?  jrb is on the list
but I don't recall him participating and I don't know if it's a case
of he was replaced before I joined and the page didn't get updated or
if he's just been busy with other things.

Thanks everybody,
Elijah
