First of all congratulations Atlassian for the release of JIRA 5.0 EAP 3:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+5.0+EAP+3+Release+Notes
For me it's rather curiosity than a real need to know (since we are still on 3.13, ahem, I know), but can you (Atlassian) give us an idea when JIRA 5.0 is to be released?
You won't get an answer to this beyond "when it's ready". See https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/2892/release-date-of-confluence-4 for the last time something similar was asked - it applies to all of Atlassian's software.
Ironically, the very thread you linked to has an answer beyond "when it's ready". Matt Hodges noted their current goal.
While I'm fully in support of the "when it's ready" release philosophy, it's still nice to have a rough timeframe (even if it's "a few weeks" or "a couple of months" or "not for awhile").
The original poster was asking for "an idea", not an exact date.
Yes, and he made it abundently clear that this was an aspiration and that "when it's ready" is still the correct answer. If you trawl the forums and answers, you'll see that when estimates are given, they're rough, and never given until at least an Alpha version is knocking around. 5 isn't alpha yet, so you won't get anything.
