The project will be managed as a series of 6-week milestones. The milestones will be broken out as follows:

  • 1 week – planning for this milestone
  • 4 weeks – development
  • 1 week – stabilization
  • 1 week – release

(The above adds up to more than 6 weeks, because in general, the planning week overlaps the release week).

The final project milestone is: 4 weeks of stabilization and release.

At the end of each milestone is a milestone release, which has:

  • been stabilized, with bugs tracked and showstoppers fixed
  • has had some amount of QA beyond the nightly sanity test
  • can demonstrate some feature or features

Milestones are divided up into week-long "Sprints" to prevent all of a milestone's functionality from hitting at the end of the milestone and causing a collision. Project developers must respect this, to give a break to the maintainers.
