Ali (and everyone else), Great news on GIT. I think that will hep us immensely. I have been following a lot of the mailing list. Actually I spent quite while reading the list over the last few days.
The full text search feature looks very promising. I have been following the code reviews. I think waiting for that to make the release makes sense, since we don’t want to stifle the development momentum. >From an Apache perspective, I do think that since we have been incubating for several years now, it is important for us to make a release soon if we are to stay in this community. We need to demonstrate some forward progress. So it sounds like we need to get through the search feature, then turn back to an RC5 release? What about the web site. We don’t really have a spot to advertise releases. For a smooth re-entry, I could start to work on that as a non-critical-path task, so that when we are ready to release the web site is ready. ~Thanks On 12/22/13, 6:58 PM, "Ali Lown" <a...@lown.me.uk> wrote: >Michael (et al.), > >Following on from RC4 there were only a few minor things left that >needed fixing: >1) Licenses of a few random files >2) Some icons in thumbnail_patterns/ which had some unknown licensing > >(1) has been fixed for a while in the wave-0.4-release branch. >(2) was fixed within the last week by Vicente using some CC'd icons. > >(2) has also recently brought to light some uncertain icons in >war/static (which we have inherited from the wave-protocol codebase) >but whose licensing is unknown. > >Frank R. has presented us with a highly promising patch (currently >undergoing review and some major refactoring) to enable full-text >search - a sorely lacking feature. >This would be highly useful to get in to the release, so in effect RC5 >is currently stalled on this feature being ready. > >For more detail on all of this, please skim back through the list over >the last month (ish). > >Ali > >P.S.
