[cross-project-issues-dev] Thanks for M3, on to M4!

I've promoted the M3 staging bits to /releases/indigo and I believe EPP packages will be ready later today or Monday. I have disconnected the M1 and M2 parts of that common, composite repository, and will delete them early next week, unless someone speaks up soon and says they need them for testing, comparisons, or something.

On to M4! I have re-enabled the aggregation build.  Now is the time to start those "experiments" with categories, etc. I recommend making changes like that with the b3 aggregator editor (since usually several files need to be updated when changing categories) but if you need help, just open a bug on cross-project component and I'd be glad to help. But in any case, be sure to be responsive to keeping the build green ... your break is most likely holding up someone else and preventing them from testing or getting work completed (at least me, if no one else :) .

Remember that M4 is a "short" cycle, with +0 being on 12/10 and +completelyDone just one week later on 10/17,  instead of the leisurely 2 week window we have been enjoying. For more details, see the Indigo Release Plan.  Be sure to contribute "warm-up" builds, especially if making changes to package structure or versioning.

M4 is also the magic milestone by which new-to-train projects need to declare their intent and get themselves into the aggregation build. (Not-new-to-train projects should already be in the builds, and all are, except one).

The first step to being in Indigo (for old and new projects) is always to mark your project's metadata at Foundation Portal, specifying 'Indigo=1' for the "simultaneousrelease" flag. I've pasted the current list of "marked" projects below. Old or new, be sure it's accurate by M4.

The Portal Tracking software is ready to receive your project's tracking input and status, but I'm sure there will be some tweaks to fix/improve some parts of it in the weeks ahead. The overview reports, or grid summaries, for Indigo are not yet ready and will take a week or two to get running accurately, I'm guessing. We'll target to be perfect by M4. :)

Feel free to ask questions here on cross-project list if anything is unclear, or you need help.

Thanks everyone,

From my quick check, here is the current list of (the high quality, highly responsive, on-track)  projects that have indicated their intent to be in Indigo
There are 32, so far ... by the end of Helios, there were 84, at this low level of counting (though many are tracked at a higher level).
