[seam-dev] Updates to Seam release process to allow for translation work

Samson, You've previously raised the issue of how we allow the JBoss Content Team to work on translation/documentation and requested that we freeze the documentation approximately 2 weeks before we release. Having thought about this some, we don't think that this is really practical. So here is our alternative proposal: 1) We release Seam X.Y.Z.GA with the English docs as prepared by Seam committers. This allows users quick access to the code and also to updated docs 2) We freeze this branch for around 2 - 3 weeks except for any critical code fixes and documentation/translation work 3) We then release Seam X.Y.Z.SP1 with any critical fixes and translations Jay, This obviously increases the QA/release managers load so I propose that only extremely critical fixes make it into the code, examples or seam-gen. As the release testing and process is increasingly automated this should become easier. What do you think? Pete -- Pete Muir http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Pete http://www.seamframework.org
