Zitat von Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

Regardless of when the first alpha happens, I'll be promoting the hell out of it, begging for feedback on any of these changes that are available by then (which should be quite a few, given the preceding PyCon US sprints). However, I would like to have months rather than weeks to act on any feedback we do receive. I'm not asking the release team to do any more work - I'm just asking for a chunk of it to be brought forward a few months. If I was asking for an extra release, I could understand resistance to the idea, but what's the concrete benefit of delaying the first alpha release by 4 months from when I'm hoping to see it happen?

I wouldn't mind having alpha 1 in April 2013, and alpha 2 in October 2013. I share Larry's skepticism, and actually fear that it may confuse users (which find that they test something completely different from what gets released). However, I don't mind supporting this strategy anyway as an experiment.

Regards, Martin
