I just wrote up an idea related to release management for post-1.0 wine releases. It's online at http://wiki.winehq.org/TimeBasedReleases Essentially, the idea is to release in March and September, in time for the April and October releases of Ubuntu.
For instance, following this strategy, we might plan to release wine-1.2.0 in September 2008 or March 2009.
The alternative is to propose a set of criteria that wine-1.2 needs to meet, and working until they are met, which is what we did for wine-0.9 and wine-1.0 (I think; it's kind of hard to tell).
I look forward to discussing this idea... perhaps we shouldn't bother to until after 1.0 is released, but I wanted to get it out early so the discussion can begin in time for us to move on it if we want to. - Dan
