The Mozilla project's plan is is to introduce much faster releases provide regular improvements faster to users without disrupting longer term work.
 
A draft for the high level proposal of this process is at:
http://people.mozilla.com/~sayrer/2011/temp/process.html
 
A detailed process plan is being worked on by Christian and Sheila. [need ETA]
 
The next checkpoint for discussing this process and its evolution will be March 29 in the [[Platform#Meetings|platform/development meeting]]

* cedar is being run by Ehsan and is available for pre-mozilla-central landing
** the focus so far here is on patches with approval for 2.0 [check this]
 
+ features and major changes must be
+ kill switched or easy to back out
+ forward proofed (config, data)
+ dev takes the pain of backing out!
 
 
== Version Numbering ==
* version number of 2.2a1pre/4.2a1pre
** AMO people request there is better planning around versions [need cite]
 
== User Agent ==
