digitalmars.D - D release schedule

Hi there,

1. Just noticed there doesn't seem to be any "major" releases 
scheduled for D?

I'm not saying we must have major releases, just that sometimes 
for example focusing on certain PRs might be easier if we have a 
time frame to consider.

2a. Do we have any management system other than Bugzilla?

Or maybe the question is rather:
2b.How do we prioritize what should be done?

Thanks 😁

Every 2.xx.0 version is a "major" release.

What do you mean by "management system"?

Prioritization of Bugzilla issues and pull requests are now in 
the wheelhouse of our PR managers.

As for anything higher level, stay tuned.

Ok, didn't know that!

Lika Jira just as an example.

The core devs were using Trello a while back. Don't know if they 
still are.

Some of the projects are using the GitHub Projects feature [1].

I think what Imperatorn means that not everything that needs to 
be done is fixing bugs. What is needed is a more comprehensive 
management system for example Jira. This includes tickets for 
actions that needs to be done, dependencies, time plan etc.

A big project like D needs this in order to track all the work. 
It also serves as a viewing board so that people can see and get 
an overview about the work that needs to be performed.
