Re: What is planned release date for GWT 2.8 (with lambdas) ?

I wish I could say that to my customers =P

In my experience, saying "It will be released, when it is done" is the same as saying "we don't have a planning" or "we are so bad at planning that any release date we set will be postponed".

Release fast, release often - is the motto of any agile development practice, and not "release when everything is done, and don't communicate a thing about what is being done in the process".

I have a feeling that GWT is a "more-or-less" open source project: its code is indeed open, but the development process is handled by some companies, that have a will to leave everything to the community to handle, but can't do because of internal stuff. So we have a state where the community can't completely guide its course, and the companies that develop it don't give the prioritization to the project (regarding communication and faster release cycles) as the community expects.

What can be done for this to change?
