Folks -
You might (or might not ;-) have noticed this but due to some internal
reshuffling of responsibilities [1] I am now the "official" board
liaison for the 3.11 release. Randal remains the contact for 4.0 since
it's so intrinsically connected to relicensing but I'm trying to help
out since he would otherwise have too many responsibilities all at once.
I've been looking at the archives but since there wasn't too much
communication I am not sure how I can best help. Please let me know what
you'd like help with - I can be anything from coder, to tester, to whip,
help communicate, or whatnot. Your choice ;-)
I still feel somewhat uncomfortable defining when exactly we would
consider 3.11 "done" and how far along we are in that process. I would
very much like to try to come to a schedule which we can communicate and
work towards so I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Cheers,
- Andreas

Hi -
Being the new liaison and such I've done some more reading and I'm
having a couple of questions trying to understand how the release team
works. First off, who exactly is the release team? Can I ask the member
of the release team to send a quick ping to show that they are present
and able to communicate? ;-)
Second, I'm still trying to figure out where we're going in 3.11. I have
not yet seen much of a goal and I'm still very much unclear on where we
are. I'm not asking Keith specifically, I'm asking *every* member of the
release team to communicate their expectations about when 3.11 is to be
considered done. This will either tell me that there is a good internal
understanding of what 3.11 constitutes and help me sharing this
understanding or it'll show that I'm not the only one who is confused
about where we stand and where we're going. Either way it will be helpful.
Lastly, I was flabbergasted when I looked at http://ftp.squeak.org/3.11/
I expected to find 3.11 versions but instead I find every Squeak
version under the sun *except* 3.11. Does anyone know what these
versions have to do with 3.11 and why they should be in the 3.11
directory? Is this just a mistake or is there reasoning behind that
structure?
Thanks for any info,
- Andreas
