What does LExIM stand for?

Question

I've heard a few developers refer to LExIM. What on earth is it?

(Other than "Reading" in Albanian or an on-line learning company?)

Answer 1

LExIM is the new overall release and extension strategy:

LEAP BY EXTENSION. ITERATE BY MONTH.

It basically means that:

• CiviCRM development will now happen mostly through extensions, enabling the users to individually turn these new features on or off by enabling these new extensions
• Releases are going to be published on a predictable monthly schedule, facilitating planning and execution of regular updates by CiviCRM service providers (from here)
