Time-based releases idea

I just wrote up an idea related to release management for post-1.0
wine releases.  It's online at
  http://wiki.winehq.org/TimeBasedReleases
Essentially, the idea is to release in March and September,
in time for the April and October releases of Ubuntu.

For instance, following this strategy, we might plan to release
wine-1.2.0 in September 2008 or March 2009.

The alternative is to propose a set of criteria that wine-1.2
needs to meet, and working until they are met, which
is what we did for wine-0.9 and wine-1.0 (I think; it's kind
of hard to tell).

I look forward to discussing this idea... perhaps we shouldn't
bother to until after 1.0 is released, but I wanted to get it out
early so the discussion can begin in time for us to move on it
if we want to.
