Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Still?

Hi :)
Ok, so that sounds like the 4th or 6th "cycle" of a branch has reduced the
bugs and regressions = i think most people would call that making it more
stable wouldn't they?

Then the point about recent releases having had less usage seems to be
saying that it is not quite so stable.

Actually that does make a lot of sense.  When new features are added it
would be surprising if there were no unexpected problems.  I think most
people would understand that and understand that as being slightly less
stable than it will be in the future.  That all makes total sense.

I am beginning to like the sound of "mature branch" and "young branch".  Of
course a google search for mature, or young, might bring up some bad sites
that we wouldn't want to be associated with.  It's annoying because
otherwise that might be a really good way of describing the difference
between the 2 branches.

So i think we still need to try to think of a really short name for each
branch that describes what it's advantage is over the other branch.

Still vs fizzy don't seem to be popular but was worth a try.  SliTaz's
"stable" vs "cooking" seems to have been rejected already.  Stable vs
unstable doesn't cover it.  Development vs stable suffers the same
problem.  Has anyone else got ideas?  I think it would be great to have a
wiki-page or something where people can post their ideas slightly
anonymously and then maybe people could vote for which ones they prefer.

Regards from
Tom :)
