Ok, so the problem is "sovled" partly. >> Since moving towards Spring is not trivial step I wouldn't like to see it >> done for Forms 1.0.0 but > > I'm quite familiar with Spring _and_ Avalon I didn't have your skills in mind because I'm sure they are great. ;-) What I did have was that it's not trivial change to Forms code and it would be desirable to bump version number. >> for 1.1.0.

It's said that Subversion 1.5 will be having some improvements in that area. As for now I recommend use of Subversive instead of Subclipse. Despite few bugs in Subversive it has much better support for multi-project commits, merging, etc. Speaking more generally I don't think that whiteboard is a good place. What I would like to see is: 1. You create branch (like cocoon-forms-1.0.X) in our branches folder 2. We release subsequent candidates for 1.0.0 from that branch and maintain it for reasonably short time making few 1.0.1, 1.0.2, ..., releases. 3. Meanwhile you (and others) can work on implementing new features in trunk and when all (or most) features and bug fixes for 1.1.0 are in we branch it to 1.1.X, and continue work in trunk on 1.2.X our 2.0.0. This would demand a little disciple from us but I think it's good way to have releases on time and enough freedom for innovation.
