And here I thought my proposed schedule was radical ...

I've said on more than one occassion that I think our release cycles are
too long (1.5.0 was just an extreme case) and that I'd prefer something
like 2 releases per year.

But are you sure we can pull this off? If this were a full-time project,
I'd say sure, no problem. But we're all doing this in our spare time. We
have jobs, family, other commitments and interests. 

I can only see this working with some very, very strict restrictions on
what and what not to add.

That would be 5 weeks then?

Not sure if the CTL is "ready to go". It may work as the hack that it
is, but a proper integration requires more work, starting with an
integration into the Configuration panel, the resulting DB and language
file changes.

Speaking of language file changes: There's also the issue of
translations - those take time.

Just sayin' ...

bye, Dirk
