Since it is not the first time I see such a scenario arising on this mailing list, I think you really need to use branches. I do understand that with SVN branches are hard to manage, but it's not the first time I see some development held back because you have to concentrate on getting 0.98 out. I'm not blaming anyone for this, it is absolutely right to avoid introducing new features until 0.98 is out, but that's why a branch would be useful: I fear that by rejecting contributions for this reason could restrain some people from doing further contributions, thinning the developing workforce. Of course I understand that there might be technical difficulties, or other problems of another nature and that you already discussed this opting for no branches, but anyway I feel it worth letting you know what I could observe from the outside. Since SourceForge recently introduced support to git, I'm wondering what are your feelings about it. It could solve easily the branching problem, but it would of course need re-training on your part on how to use the tool correctly. If you are not familiar with it, I could write a guide on your Wiki on how to do development on amsn using git (through git-svn), so that you may try it out before making any decision. You could then point people to it when you need to hold their changes waiting for a release. Anyway it's your call ;) -- Stéphane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
