I gave this some thought during the past days and here's what I suggest:
* trunk (camel-2.10.0) already has a bunch of fixes, new features,
components, so as Christian said, it makes a bunch of sense to release
on the regular schedule and not start 3.0 before this release. I think
first half of Apr is a good target and I volunteer to do the release.
Claus is right, there are a lot of things that require documentation
(some of it is in my lap) and we should focus on that.
* We know that 3.0 will break compatibility, hopefully not a lot and
with easy solutions. We also know that it will probably take some 6
months before we could release 3.0.
* if we'll need to have a 2.11 we'll probably only know in 2-3 months,
but with 2.9.x and 2.10.x still supported, probably not.
My preference would be to:
* release 2.10
* after that immediately create two branches 2.10.x and 2.11.x off the tag.
* keep trunk for 3.0 development
* the 2.11.x branch we could discard later on if not needed.
Alternatively we could leave trunk for 2.11 and create a 3.0 branch and
merge it later on into trunk, that'd work too.
We already know a lot of improvements we want to make for 3.0, we should
probably start adding details now, and use the next few weeks before the
2.10 release to create a roadmap.

I have no rush with Camel 2.10.0. I would rather like discuss the schedule
for Camel 3.0.0 (which of course depends on Camel 2.10.0). And I would like
to discuss what we have to be done to start working on Camel 3.0.0.
I created a new Jenkins build which will build the trunk with Java7 (Linux)
[1].
Do you mean we work in parallel on Camel 2.11.0 and 3.0.0 or do you mean we
start with Camel 3.0.0 AFTER we released Camel 3.0.0? What are the features
you expect to see in Camel 2.11.0 (and not in 2.10.x)?
Most or all of our ideas make sense for me and I would like to see it. I'm
only a bit vague about the schedules each of us have in mind.
