[cle-release-team] Strawperson schedule for CLE 2.9.2

[Neal Caidin]

I think that may have been what Matt did for 2.9.1. I don't see a downside to it, unless there is any issue with bringing up QA servers or issues with folks downloading and testing locally. Are there clear instructions for doing that? I've found it helpful sometimes to run Sakai locally so I can muck around with properties. Alan B. sometimes runs through his own tests I believe. I imagine others do this too.

What do others think about this idea? It has a clear positive aspect of speeding up the process, are there any downsides?

If there is some major bug identified that affects the branch, fix it, merge it, rebuild the branch. Can the QA servers run branches? If they took the branch at some known revision that would be ideal.
