I hope to see the final release of Geeklog 1.8.0 in a week or 2. Once
it is out the door I think we should release version 2.7.5 of the
forum.

I see that there has been a fair bit of coding activity lately with
the forum. When do you guys want to release 2.7.5?

What ever we decide we should have a cut off date for adding new
features and then do a few rounds of testing and installing/upgrading
before the release.

What do you guys think?

I think that we would be kidding ourselves if we call that release
2.7.5, since a fair bit of code has changed since 2.7.4 and especially
considering that what we imported in the hg repo had already been
extensively developed by Geeklog.jp group. It would also be misleading
for users, as they might expect just a few small bugfixes compared to
2.7.4, but they will be getting a (potentially more unstable) feature
release...

I think that we should call it a major: 2.8.0.

As far as dates go, I don't have any new features to check in and so I'd
be happy with a feature freeze next Monday, 9th of May. Followed by a
few rounds of testing, one week at a time and release around beginning
of June.

What about more long term plans? I'm thinking that we should explicitly
state what versions we will be officially supporting and for how long.
Since we are pretty small right now, I would say that we should not
support anything older than our next release (2.7.5 or 2.8.0, whatever
it may be). We could then backport important security fixes to this
branch until February 29, 2012 (same as Geeklog support for 1.7.2). But
what about the next feature branch???

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me, all your points are valid.

Agree. We should also figure out when we plan to increase our minimum
Geeklog version and PHP support (I am thinking 1.8.0 here (and PHP 5.2
since that is what 1.8.0 supports)). I guess we should flush out the
roadmap a bit more that you started Rouslan to figure these things
out.

ok for calling the next version 2.8.0 and only support this release.

Good stuff. I was thinking of updating all headers in source code files
since now they all contain incorrect versions and ancient release dates.
I think that I'll get around that in a few days, unless anyone wants to
beat me at it.

As far as bumping up the requirement for the next feature release. I
think that it's too early to tell. It will depend on when it will be
ready (few months or few years?) and also on what features we really
need from 1.8.0 (jQuery would probably be awesome)...

Ok so I guess it is settled, the next version will be 2.8.0

When do we want to have our feature freeze for version 2.8.0?

Rouslan suggested May 9th. I have no planned features in the near
future for the forum so that date works for me as well. Does this
work for you Ben and Dengen?

May 9th is ok.

This month I'm very busy so I also do not plan to work on new feature
for the forum plugin.

Ben, do you think you would be able to contribute a new French
translation after the strings freeze?

May 9th is ok.

I am deleting the words which isn't used from the language files now.
About 200 lines will be able to be deleted.
Therefore, the burden of translation would be reduced a little.

I have some unfinished work.
Few items to be added to the configuration UI remaining in config.php.
This work will not require much time. But, it may not need to meet this release.

Keep in mind that I already removed some strings (previously used in the
settings tab) from the language files in this commit:
https://code.google.com/p/geeklog/source/detail?r=6a5a3c279f59443fb9bbd3681f682bcbc653226c&repo=forum

Maybe I should have written a better commit summary...
