[Dev] Code Freeze and checkin guidelines..

[Aparna Kadakia]

Hello All,
Today is our official code-freeze date for the 0.5 release. Any checkins 
beyond this point should be for blocker bugs only. If there is anything 
else that you would like to fix, please file a bug with your comments 
and  nominate it as blocking0.5?.
The bug council (Lisa, Katie, Sheila and I) will decide if it should 
make it into the release or not. We still have 30 outstanding blocking 
<http://tinyurl.com/6zae3> bugs for 0.5. There is a link for it from our 
development home page now.

After the code freeze, the following rules will be in effect:
1. Only fixes for bugs flagged as blocking0.5+ will be accepted.
2. Bug numbers and descriptions should be included in commit comments.
3. Please have your code reviewed by at least one other person before 
checking it in.

Let me know if you have any  other questions,
Thanks
Aparna
