Krita 3.0.1 Release Process

[Dmitry Kazakov]

Hi, Boud!

I know you are overloaded with stuff. And the only thing I want to do is to
help to unload some release routines from you. The list with notifications
will greatly help us with it. Noone can help you while all the tasks are in
your head. We cannot read your or my or anyone's thoughts :)

It will also help us to avoid the misunderstanding, which caused us to
spend a nice Sunday on not very nice things. When discussing the topic I
understood that the mail to the translators will be sent, you understood
that a mail to our mailing list is enough. That is a normal situation when
people understand the same words differently. And to avoid that, these
things should be written down a tracked somewhere.

And just to clarify my proposal. I don't want you to maintain this list
entirely yourself. Remember, that the three main parts of any delegation
are: define the tasks, assign the task and control the progress. We already
have a rough list of tasks, so you don't need to spend your time on that.
You should only take the tasks noone except you can do and assign the rest
to others. And since the board is public everyone will be able to control
the progress of the tasks execution.

That will unload  great deal of work from you. For example, I can take the
duty of raising version numbers (it is scriptable and I wanted to play with
python in my leisure time anyway) and sending the mails to the mailing
lists (it takes 10 minutes every six weeks). Wolthera can do the release
announcement (I guess she already does it). I can subscribe to her task and
start translating it into Russian as soon as it is completed (or delegate
it to someone if it is finished at least in three days before the release).
And the board itself will take the duty of answering trivial people's
questions like "When you are going to release?" "Has there been an Alpha
release already?" :)

Why don't you want even to try to organize things? We now release every 6
weeks, we will get crazy if we don't get organized :(
