Hi all,
it's been quite a while since our latest C3 release (July 1st, 2011)
[1]; even though I personally believe we should at least fix some
aspects before cutting next release, I also think it would be nice to
provide a roadmap for all people - including me - that are already using
C3 on some of their own projects.

Hence:

1. what will we include in beta-1? Is JIRA updated in this respect [2]?
There are quite some other unplanned issues [3].
2. what will we plan after beta-1? beta-2? and afterwards?
3. do we want to consider some milestone release (M1 / M2 / ...)
instead, maybe even BEFORE beta-1, so that we can provide some "stable"
reference for external project relying upon C3?

IMO the most important missing thing before going beta is supporting alternative output types than OutputStream and to get rid of "throws Exception" which is actually of no value.

The latter is rather simple to achieve, the first change needs (a lot of) more work, especially regarding caching. Steven and I have started to work on a proposal for dynamic output types but we haven't had enough time yet to commit it to the whiteboard and write a proposal email.
