Hi All, Should we start planning for the next and upcoming 0.5-incubating release? Before we commit all GSoC projects to trunk, harden, test and integrate it will with the code base, should we cut a release first? I can see the major improvement in terms of registry. Thanks to the community contributions from Ye Fan and bug reporting from Sudhakar, it will be nice to extend the provenance registry to include to the service/workflow registry entries as well. But I will leave it unto the release manager to look through the JIRA's and make a call.
Saminda, since you volunteered but couldn't do the 0.4-incubating release, will you be willing to co-ordinate and release the 0.5-incubating?

So please goahead and start with the process, here are some handy steps: 1) Digest the latest developments and send out a feature list for this list. Once a consensus on release features is reached, post them on the website [1] (I just realized its way outdated, we need to update it with current and future releases). 2) Go through the JIRA's and appropriately tag the release 'Fix Version' for the upcoming release 3) Set a target date for a feature freeze and engage dev list in closing or deferring the issues. 4) Call out for a testing period and when you are comfortable, freeze the trunk for a short time and go through the release process. Note: Last two releases we branched and then released mainly because I wanted to focus on the build and legal issues (L, N, D) and did not want to stall development. You need not do it this time as we have the build and L, N files in a much better shape.
