Quite a few people are under the impression that MediaWiki 1.17 will be released in October or November of this year.
I don't think there's been many public references to this, but that is more or less the timeframe many of us have discussed. There is at least one public reference here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/Release/2010-07-14
Several of us have a desire to get back on a more regular release cadence with MediaWiki releases generally, and MediaWiki 1.17 seemed like a good place to start.
The goal, as I recall, was branching October 15 or thereabouts, with first beta in November, and a release sometime after that (perhaps as late as January, depending on how well we do with the first beta). We really haven't had an organized discussion of the topic since that one meeting above, but maybe this email thread can be that conversation. Nothing about the schedule is carved in stone, so now is as good a time as any to bring up any objections to that timeline.
