[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "SaUpdatePlan" by JustinMason
Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by JustinMason:

New page:
== Rules Project: Streamlining the rules process ==

'''(part of RulesProjectPlan)'''

Problem description: '2. The "release cycle" problem: Any high quality rules
that are incorporated into SpamAssassin are not distributed until the next
release. Since rules and code are tied together, the release cycle for rules is
too long. Submitted rules are not distributed while they are most effective, and
rules lose their effectiveness too quickly.'

Theo has written sa-update -- a new script that will be included with SpamAssassin 3.1.0. In theory, we will be able to distribute rules more frequently, and rules releases won't be tied to code releases.

TODO: need more detail here
