I poked around to see which bugs are being worked on and whatnot on lemmy-ui's github, but I couldn't find the release schedule (new to open source projects like this).

Is there a way to get a sense of when a new version drop will be applied outside of being an actual contributor or is that all hidden/just in the minds of the maintainers?

AFAIK there is no release schedule as such, it's more a situation of it'll be released no sooner or later than when it's ready for release πŸ˜ƒ

I know it can be frustrating to hear that as a user, but it really is better than promising a release date, and then either failing to deliver on time, or delivering something which you know is not really ready.

Not at all. I get it completely. I do some programming for my 9-5 and have our releases and stuff scheduled in our Jira, but that's a private dev team, not a open source project like this and it doesn't use github/gitlab for anything.

Expectation management and getting people to understand why we didn't deploy at the specified time is a huge annoyance, lol.

You don’t use version control at work?

I’m interested what you do use!

I wish it were git...

We use subversion primarily.

Let's cry together, my boss wants me to write him all changes via email including screenshots of code. So that the different versions are "archived" and can be "backtracked".

I wish there where upvote, downvote, and hug options.
