Currently we run at about one-release per year, which isn't that bad. I wanted to bring this up to 2 releases per year, but noone had the energy to take care of the release management (basically, the amount of effort involved in a pretest did not seem worthwhile compared to the incremental improvement in features). BTW: since we're about to freeze and start a new pretest phase, we're looking for a volunteer to take care of rolling the pretests. Also, we'd welcome some help to update the manuals (most urgently, to integrate all the changes mentioned in NEWS into the manuals). Stefan
