[mapserver-dev] Vote for MapServer 5.6 release plan

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Daniel,

I would agree with Tamas on the Work in Progress section. I think it 
would be appropriate to list "Work in progress" that is targeted for 6.0 
and NOT 5.6 so that it is clear to anyone reading the plan.

I also assume that the 5.0 developments are happening in sandboxes or 
local copies that the developers have checked out and that those changes 
are NOT flowing into 5.6 without some specific discussion and approval 
to that we maintain a stable release stream. I can potentially see some 
generic changes "in preparation" for at code migrating to trunk if 
discussed and approved, but I think it would be your job to say yeah/nay 
on that kind of change as you need to manage risk/benefit and stability 
on the release.

-Steve

PS: Thank you for taking on the release manager role again.
