Re: Feature Freeze

 

I agree, no more features in lp:tomdroid, only fixes. Features should be
done in per-feature separate branches.

If it was only of me, I would have liked the current beta to be developed
that way (branch per feature, reviewed carefully) but I learned (the hard
way) that in order to keep your contributors happy you need to ship their
code.

Still, a lot of new stuff has been shipped lately, it's time to slow down
and shape a market release. Continue working on the great stuff but keep it
in separate branches that we will look at and integrate for our next
launchpad beta.

Right now, we need two way sync to go out to our broader audience.

Cheers!
