[mapserver-dev] 5.6 release plan proposal

[Daniel Morissette]

Following up on the exchange we had two weeks ago about the 5.6 release, 
I have updated the draft 5.6 release plan 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/56ReleasePlan) with the list of 
enhancements that I am aware of for this release (based on a review of 
the list of RFCs and of HISTORY.TXT). I'm sure I must have missed some 
important items, so please let me know what they are, or don't hesitate 
to add them yourself.

The plan also proposes a release schedule with a feature freeze date of 
Friday September 18 (2 weeks from today) which leads us to a potential 
release date on Saturday October 24 (the date of the FOSS4G code sprint 
in Sydney).

Finally, I propose myself as release manager.

I'd like to leave this draft up for discussion for a day or two, and if 
there are no objections or significant changes, then we'd open the vote 
on it on Monday.

Daniel

P.S. FYI I will be on vacation next week and will return on September 
14th, so I may be a bit slow to respond to emails during that time.
