3dot10, Who’s playing the client?

Jerome Peace

Hi Ralph,

Its actually the role of customer in xp. but if I said
customer Tim would start asking for money :-) So I
figured client was close.


The idea is to have someone outside the release team
help negotiate what needs to happen to get 3dot10 to
final so 3dot11 can start.

The role possibly should be played by the 3dot11 team
(leader?).

Or someone who would have an easy time communicating
with the 3dot10 release team.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Nothing needs to happen to 3.10 so that 3.11 can start.

The reason that 3.11 is not starting is because there is no 3.11 team.
 The board has not yet asked for proposals for a team.  We can stop
3.10 at any time.  It seems pointless to do it until there is a 3.11
in sight.

I don't see a place for a client/customer role.  The 3.10 release team
is not doing any development.  We are just doing integration, quality
control, and version management.  if we were developing features then
we could use a "customer" to tell us which features to develop next.
They could tell us which features were implemented correctly.  But
since the Squeak community both develops features and tests them, the
"customer" role is part of the community.

Is it possible to correct the known bugs before stopping?
