Hi,

I am preparing a document which explains the workflow, and should
clear the confusion (hopefully). For a quick answer to your question -
everything in XO Core and XO Bundled (except for a few modules like
Watch and Listen, Connect, etc) will be following the release schedule
at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Roadmap#Schedule
For a list of modules which are supposed to follow the schedule, check
out http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Roadmap#Glucose_Modules
and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Roadmap#Fructose_Modules
I hope to see more modules following the Glucose schedule in the next
release cycles.

For the rest, expect to see them follow the OLPC release cycle,
something that is beginning to take shape at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Process_Home
Thanks,
Sayamindu
