===== Введение =====

In the past the same questions and discussions have come up over and over again whenever
a new release was in sight, like:

  * What are the core components of Xfce?
  * How often do we want to release and in what fashion (time-based, feature-based)?
  * Who's in charge of the release process?
  * What dependency versions do we depend on?
  * When are feature-freeze, string-freeze, code-freeze and thelike?
  * How many pre-releases should we do and how do we call them?
  * What do we use as a replacement for SVN revision versioning with Git?

This document intends to answer these questions and aims at defining a policy that we can 
refer to when planning releases.
