Re: Thoughts on a release?

[Jason Rimmer]

	I concur.  If the code base is stable and functional, regardless of 
whatever minor bugs there may be, the benefits of release are great. 
Publicity, more people testing, beginnings of meeting Incubator exit 
requirements, and the overall experience gained by working through the 
Apache release process.
	Non-committer that I am.

Obviously some of the patches submitted so far to fix bugs would
need to be committed first, once commit access is available!

Thus I wasn't thinking about a release *now*, but after at least some
bug fixes. But I was really looking for what folks think should be done
for a release.

I would definitely recommend a binary release soon. There is a lot of 
immediate interest in Derby, and the sooner people can start using it 
the better. Early and often.
