Brad,


      The Beta release was postponed two tcons ago.

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Tcons/Minutes/2011_05_27

The argument was that most of the ITKv4 work is not ready...

Instead, by June 15th
we are just going to cut yet another Alpha.

--

That's one of the manifestations of the lack of focus of the
larger ITKv4 group, and why we need to adopt SCRUM
(or any other project planning process) with some urgency.


We have been distracted by many little patches that adress
minor issues, and lost sight of the main goals or ITKv4.


We (the larger ITKv4 group) are lacking a plan to achieve
those goals: SimpleITK, GPU, FEM, Registration, DICOM...



      Luis

The gerrit system used for ITK squashes long topics into a single commit. By moving the repo I would hope that we can use the staging area as a place to coordinate topics and the next branch. Basically, it should allow us to follow the well documented CMake processes using the ssh commands on the stage.
