| [technology-pmc] Re: Upcoming validation release review |
Ali,In the process documents (see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/implementation-phase.php, bullet "Milestone Releases"), milestones are named x.yMz - *releases* are named x.y including 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3. Releases require a release review, even for projects (like ALF) in the incubation phase. ALF has not had any release reviews (see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/previous-release-reviews.php), so your milestones should properly be named x.yM1, x.yM2, etc. Either 1.0M1, 1.0M2, etc. if you are aiming for a 1.0 release (like BIRT did for their first release), or 0.5M1, 0.5M2, etc. if you are aiming for 0.5 release (like WTP and DTP did for their first releases).
While I realize that this (and other process items described in the dev process documents) may seem trivial, but they are what the larger Eclipse community has set forth as the rules that it chooses to work under. As you know, we (the entire community) is in the process of creating a rev3 of the process documents and probably some of these rules will change - but for now, this is what they are. Thus it would be best to make your next milestone be x.yM3. Thanks.
