New release schedule proposal

[Bráulio Bhavamitra]

Yesterday on the noosfero community meeting it was discussed about
inserting into the release schedule a time for a list of testers and code
reviewers to work.

I've just replied Terceiro's comments about this on
http://listas.softwarelivre.org/pipermail/noosfero-dev/2013-August/000443.html
.

best regards,
bráulio
