No votes yet, but +1 on taking a direction that can lead to release. It would be good to see the trunk-vs-dev issue sorted at the same time, so people like me know where to start from when hacking on the edges of the code or contributing patches. Comments just to challenge your assumptions, just in case they provoke thought in anyone here. > Thanks, > > -- leif > > 1. Feature freeze for 2.0.0 is Feature freeze is more commonly associated with commercial software than with Apache. No problem with using it if people are happy working to it, but if anyone thinks there should be no feature freeze, that's at least a legitimate topic for debate. More important IMHO is an API/ABI promise: third-party developers should be assured that a plugin developed for 2.0.0 will work for future 2.0.x, preferably without a need to recompile. If there is no such promise, you need to make it clear. This is just IMHO, not seeking to lay down the law :) -- Nick Kew
