Martin, I'm keen on figuring out a way to reduce your workload, and also to coordinate releases better between us. I /think/ with timed releases I can tag a little early and give you something to work on so that the actual release is a matter of fiddling web pages and sending an announcement. Again - the work load is not so much an issue at the moment, and I expect it to be reduced even after 3.0 is finally released and 2.5 retired. I would indeed appreciate tighter coordination. Anthony's process differed from yours primarily in him waiting for the release announcements until the binaries are actually available. That might mean that a day or two might pass, but it did help to remove the feeling of working under tight deadlines.

Let's try this for 3.0rc4 then. I think all it means is that I won't
push the new pages or make the announcement until you verify that the
Windows builds are ready and available. We can still use python- committers to coordinate when that will happen, and I'll still do all
the release mechanics from my end as normal. It's okay if the
announcement happens Friday or over the weekend.

I will also try to get up early to do the release before my work day
starts, to better coordinate with Euro time. So expect me on #python- dev tomorrow (my morning).

Will that work for you?
