I've been arguing for March,<br>
but I don't think there is consensus on that yet. If OLPC aims for<br>
early March, and you slip Sugar feature freeze to late January, then<br>
you're right, we're reasonably consistent. If OLPC decides to aim for<br>
April or later, however, then it seems we're getting out of sync.<br>
<br>
I'd like to avoid the situation we had in 8.2, where sugar was in<br>
string freeze while OLPC was still in active development, with lots of<br>
major features not even written yet. We worked that out very<br>
successfully, via lots of "special exceptions" to the string freeze,<br>
but I'd like to try to avoid having to go that way in 9.1 if we can.<br>
It would be better if we all just agree on some dates.</blockquote><div><br><br>I think it will be possible to do better than 8.2, especially if we can get OLPC to settle on solid dates the week of the 17 :)<br><br>Marco<br>
