RFC: Timeline about loopback-next

[ritch]

I think endless convorsations with tons of text is a keystone habit that we need to avoid in order to get something out by summer. Code > Convo.

Our timeline goal is 6/1/2017 to release [email protected].

I agree, we need to be quite aggressive with timelines in the beginning to even have a chance at Q4 this year. 👍

Do you mean for GA, or RC? I assume you mean GA.

At risk of stating the obvious, the "timeline" needs to be more than just one date. At a minimum, we need to work backward from GA date and specify dates for RC(s), feature freeze, and "spec freeze" (high-level features decided). This will determine exactly what we believe we can realistically deliver by that date.

FWIW, [email protected] was the first release candidate version. I think this approach worked out reasonably well and is worth repeating.

Having said that, the question whether 2016-06-01 is the deadline for RC or GA remains unanswered.

Closing in favour of https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/wiki/Upcoming-Releases. Changes should be announced there.
