RE: [wtp-dev] [reminder] Key M5 Dates

+1 for M8...

While I agree with the milestone naming, I want to stress that we should
treat 0.7 as a full release. We want release quality code for 0.7, and I
think we should advertise that once we ship. If we don't think of 0.7 as a
true release, then our clients will unlikely to think of 0.7 as a true
release, this may hinder adoption.

+1 for M8, M9, M10

Makes the most sense from all perspectives to me.  I understand Lawrence's
concern, but 0.7 to me is not a full release, its an initial offering, and
this would drive home the fact we are working towards 1.0 to be that full
release.  And also, it's easy accounting in bugzilla, and we can move on
to actually delivering the milestones instead of naming them.

Ted,

-1 for renaming WTP 0.7 to WTP 0.6. We already have enough churn and I
don't want folks to have to edit documents yet again.

How about skipping M7 and using M8, M9 , M10 for WTP 1.0?

I personally would vote for continuing to increment the milestone number
after 0.7, but I have found myself stumbling over M6 being 0.7.

Inserting a micro milestone such that
   M7 == 0.7
would certainly make talking about WTP easier.  (Renaming 0.7 to be 0.6
would solve the same problem...  not sure which alignment would be easier
to implement.)

Lawrence,

Valid observations.

What about calling these next milestones M101, M102, M103?

I have two concerns with this naming convention.

1. It may be confusing for some WTP users if we have a 0.7 release followed
by an M7 milestone.
2. It may further support the view that the 0.7 release is not really a
true 'release' if we simply increment the milestones after it.

Nitin,

I am OK with this proposal since we do not plan to rename all the previous
builds to 0.7.

To summarize, the post 0.7 milestones will be WTP 1.0 M7, M8, M9 to avoid
possible confusion with the previous milestones.

All - please comment. Unless I hear dissenting opinions, I'll get the new
milestones added to Bugzilla.

Arthur,
Given the switch in version numbers, are we now working on what should be
referred to as 0.7M5?.  Calling the first post-0.7 milestone 1.0M7
prevents any confusion with the 1.0M1 that's already out there (unless we
plan to rename all of the prior milestone builds, pages, and documents).
With 1.1 we would still go back to an M1.

Re: [wtp-dev] [reminder] Key M5 Dates







Chuck,

WTP 0.7 stops at M6 = Final. WTP 1.0 will only have a few milestones. What
are M7, etc for?

Re: [wtp-dev] [reminder] Key M5 Dates









Hi,

This clasification requires us to have M7,M8,M9 in the target milestone
fields... Can we plan to add that soon?

Thanks - Chuck

[wtp-dev] [reminder] Key M5 Dates











We are now entering the home stretch. This note is a reminder of the key
dates. We have less than two months to complete WTP 0.7. I am sure that
everyone wants to produce the highest possible quality for our first
release. We must therefore assess our status and make decisions about what
we can contain and what we need to defer.

We are planning to release M5 on July 1. Our shutdown phase will therefore
begin after the June 17 I-build. This means that all function targetted
for M5 must be committed prior to June 17. After June 17, we will be
focusing on stabilizing M5. Only critical and blocking fixes should be
made after June 17.

In preparation for M5 shutdown, component leads should ensure that all
bugs are correctly classified.

Post M5, we will enter the endgame for WTP 0.7. More details will follow.
