Maybe it would be a good idea to put a roadmap or "planned release date"
Duh! :) (A more prominent link at www.mediawiki.org would be a good idea, though)
Btw, roadmap says:
"Note: This page is out of date and was never very accurate."
I think it would be a very good idea to have a fixed release date for version X and then strictly stick to it instead ofhaving prolonged "beta" seasons.
The situation is a bit like with Perl 5.8.0 - it got pushed farther and farther away and meanwhile everybody shipped v5.6.x because 5.8.0 was still labeled as experimental/beta/not read yet.
With Perl v5.8.x there are now fixed release deadlines and they are strictly adhered to, which resulted in quite a bit of released versions - currently 5.8.7 is at the door.
That's IMHO much better than having v1.4 "nearly ready" since 2004-12-03 :)
Best wishes,
Tels
