[bt-devel] Alpha/beta release schedule

[Martin Gruner]

Hi there,

>   (No bug reports yet, it was too unfinished)

Should be fully functional now. =)
It now uses Sword's FTP transport code instead of our own, which had major 
problems.

> - Like Martin said, data paths and other installing issues should be

I'd like to work on the installation stuff.
Data migration (description is in the wiki) would be a nice point to take for 
you, Jeremy, and affects several parts of BibleTime.

> - Select the features and fixes which surely will go to the release
> - Martin takes the installation, Jeremy takes the smaller bugs, I will
>   continue with the Search Dialog

Sounds good to me.

> - Whoever finishes first can continue with Bookshelf Manager

Already done. =)

Sounds good to me, Eeli.
