My current suggestion:

beta 1 : 2008-10-01
beta 2 : 2008-10-14
rc1 : 2008-11-01
rc2 : 2008-11-14 (as needed)
release: 2008-12-01

And a suggestion aside from the above:

2008-[06/07/08/09]-01 we will use for creating tech previews (which we will
update t.e.o. with) for showcasing the current state of Trac.

My main reason for being a bit 'strict' on the dates is that it would give
us early feedback of trunk's behaviour on large datasets and tackle any
blocker issues like the memory problem early on.

I think the cycle could be much shorter for than that. Instead of
aiming to fix everything bug in the tracker, get i18n and
MultipleRepositorySupport (which are supposedly both already in a
fairly usable state), merge them, fix things up (including lots of
small bugfixes, of course), and release in three months.

Cheers,

While your timeline is really only about 6 months, which is reasonable
for a release, I say let's cut the 0.12 features to i18n and
MultipleRepositorySupport and release. I think keeping releases to 2,
maybe 3 "features"[1] each is a good thing to keep our release cycle down.

[1] While I think focusing on two or three features should be the goal,
if someone completes a feature that isn't on the the goals, it could be
merged. Just it wouldn't be a release blocker.

Assuming a 0.11 release at the end of the May, this is a 6 month schedule;
seems reasonable to me.

I like John's suggestion of picking 2 features for a release. I think that if
we get those 2 features in, and stable, we should start the beta-to-release
process then, even if it's early.

I'd also like to see us improve our testing; Tim has been doing a lot of work
with VM buildbots, but we could use more machines if people have one to
spare. And our test coverage leaves a great deal to be desired.

Sure, but then I need some more eyeballs on Genshi. A major item right now
is Genshi ticket 129. Any additional help there to fix it will serve all
translations.

I am totally clueless about Genshi's internals at this point, it's on my
list though.
