How about plans for a 2.1.x/2.2.0 release?

Dear developers,

I'd like to propose some release date planning for the next stable
release series. The development in trunk has undergone quite a bunch of
changes since branch-2.0 was split off in July 2006. The feature I've
been working on (Windows port) of course is one major new feature, but
I'm very sure there are other completely new features and improvements
as well. For this reason, I think we should start to plan a new stable
release series in the coming months, starting with some unstable/beta
releases numbered 2.1.0 and so on, and eventually reaching a 2.2.0 release.

I've proposed some dates for this on
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule . For the parts I'm
working on (Online banking, Windows), I would predict all
not-yet-finished features will probably be finished within a few weeks.
For that reason, I would propose unstable/beta releases as early as
mid-March, and planning for a stable 2.2.0 release in mid-May. What do
you think?

With regards to the ideas about Summer of Code, I think those projects
would be good for after-2.2.0, which IMHO is yet another reason to plan
for a 2.2.0 before the summer. Also, I know a 2.2.0 in May probably
means the register-rewrite won't make it this time, which is indeed
unfortunate, but OTOH there are already enough other features which
would IMHO justify a new stable series.

Further comments, ideas, suggestions? Also, feel free to directly edit
the wiki page.
