[Box Backup-dev] wiki page changes

[Nick Knight]

Hello all,

I am please this is all looking good; it certainly is helping my
understanding of where things should be put!

1. Would now be a good time for Chris to create the win32 branch?

2. I am happy to leave as is, but not sure I agree with the comments
about creating bug fixes on an official release, once it is released -
that should be it, especially as box is in very early release numbers
anyway? If late bugs are found, then these a) should be placed in the
next release and b) the release procedures needs improving as formal
releases should be quite well tested! (or perhaps a major/minor release
is needed)

Regards

Nick

That is a good point. However, from what I had seen so far of the box
development and due to the nature of this particular piece of software
(being a backup software) it looked like the life-cycle would be quite
similar to some of our commercial products as opposed to some very
feature-rich, PHP-style, open source projects that change dramatically
from month to month. :)

Anyway, I am totally with you. Just wanted to fuel the discussion a bit.
