<pre wrap="">There is only one thing which is missing here - if we follow this
"Microsoft Model" of naming the product, we will need additional
information visible to distinguish the maintenance releases; Following
the example of Microsoft Visual Studio, this would be something like Tb
2014 SP 1 (Service Pack 1); this could than easily mapped back to our
internal version numbers (23.0.1, 23.0.2 etc.). Also this assumes there
is always only one "major" release per year, is this in sync with reality?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">No, the current release is 7cycles x 6weeks = 42 weeks which is shorter
than a year. So either we extend the number of cycles or can do
YEAR.MONTH version numbers.</pre>
</blockquote>
hmm, I don't like fully coupling it to time variables (remember we
still have a 6 weeks cycle) - potentially you could have 2 security
updates in short succession. And we shouldn't be tied to a fixed
schedule (I thought this is exactly what this numbering gets us
around).<br>
<br>
So either Tb 2014.1 .. 2014.2 or better <br>
Tb 2014<br>
Tb 2014 SP1<br>
Tb 2014 SP2<br>
Tb 2014 SP3<br>
Tb 2014 SP4<br>
<br>
as the need arises.<br>
