[Zope3-dev] Zope 3 Repository State

[Stephan Richter]

Hello everyone,

as promised, I have just created the Zope 3.1 branch from which all Zope 3.1.x 
releases will be created.

This also means that as of now the feature freeze on the trunk is lifted and 
people should feel free to check in new features into the trunk for Zope 3.2. 
We will also require Python 2.4 for Zope 3.2, so feel free to use new Python 
features such as decorators.

Trunk check-in policy and development notes:

- We are switching to time-based release cycle, which means that all checked 
in code must be beta quality, if it is to be considered to be in the release. 
Zope 3.2 wil be released in December, that means we will freeze the trunk 
mid-October for new features.

- We need to become much better about fixing bugs. I think we should make Bug 
Days a regular event.

- We are switching back to a proposal-based development cycle. This means that 
you must have an approved proposal online before the code can be checked into 
the trunk.

Thanks for reading!

Regards,
Stephan
