What's happening with this?

IIRC, either WD calls for a trunk freeze, or Brandon branches for a release.
Neither have happened yet ??

I think we should progress in some way or we'll never see 0.3.0

At the moment, it looks like the next release will be 0.2.9.
I this is the case, I personally think we should branch now or maybe in 
a week.
But for 0.3.0 I think we should "clean up" the trunk i.e. WaxDragon 
should call for a feature freeze and we should fix all bugs and work 
very hard on the translations, as 0.3.0 is one of our major releases and 
will be reviewed by a lot of magazines (if we tell them about this 
release...), so it should be one of our best releases.

Greets,

0.3.0 needs to have a "Spit 'n' Polished" look. Users don't see
what's
underneath, they see what's on top, i.e. the UI elements. Having a
Default Wallpaper wouldn't be too bad of a start on this.

The Trunk needs a massive Bug-Hunt, at the moment. I installed r19899,
and I could see several glaring discrepencies that a user would pick
up on.

Come to our IRC Channel, Dave, and have a word with arty. He's working
on getting a PPC Build working, but it's nowhere near finished.

Next week I have finals and wont have much time.  I suggested to Wax 
that we either do it soon(meaning today or tomorrow) or not until Dec 
16th when I get done with school.  He then said that he didnt think it 
was quite ready for a release yet and didnt want it to fall around 
Christmas time(because people get busy I'm guessing).  So... where this 
all stands I don't know.  Maybe even skip this one and do 0.2.9 in 3 
more months and maybe that time it will be 0.3.0?

Having 0.2.9 3 months away will do the opposite of help. You need
semi-regular releases, to keep the users aware of ReactOS' existance,
and to keep their interest

Why not release a 0.2.8.1 or something like that, so that people see we 
are still there.

I actually proposed a similar system a while back on the ML, but some
didn't like it. Although I do agree, having incremental releases would
be good, even if said releases wern't much more than glorified Nightly
Builds ;)

But one of the main processes in releasing is stabalising the branch. 
These fixes are also committed to HEAD.
Although there are quite a few bugs now they will all be removed before 
the final release following our method of Feature Freeze, Code Freeze, 
Release.
The Wiki states that the code will not be released until it's ready, 
thus if we branch now, we don't finalise until the TC is happy all the 
bugs are fixed, even if that takes a month.

Having a trunk freeze and then doing a branch (with the corresponding 
freezes) seems to be defeating the object of doing the branch.

I thought we decided on 'branch every 2 months, whatever the state of 
HEAD'.  But I can't seem to find anything in the wiki.

Waiting 3 more months goes against the unwritten 'release every few 
months' statement.

Can a few other people chip in with their thoughts?

I'd like to see a 2 monthly release cycle, meaning we should branch soon.
However, we voted "Once the testing coordinator (in consultation with the
release engineer) signals that a release is to be made, tentative dates are
set for all three stages and the release process begins." meaning that it's
really up to WaxDragon and Brandon.

Today or tomorrow is fine by me, BUT IT'S NOT MY CALL.  I was just
saying that if we branch  now the release will land on Christmas week.
