With our 2.1 distribution (as with earlier distributions) we are only

build up a server by installing plugins?
That was the original intent when we created this assembly. I know
that the originally framework included enough deployment capability
to deploy plugins. However, I'm not certain that is still the case
(I haven't tried in a long time). Assuming you can still install
plugins (or we add that back in), I think it makes sense to
distribute this assembly. BTW, I'm not proposing this for 2.1 given
that it is nearly completely baked.
All the framework assembly can do is install plugins. I think we
should definitely distribute it in the future and I am proposing we
distribute it for 2.1 as well. IIUC in any case it will get into the
maven repos, so adding it to the official download page shouldn't be
too hard.
Agreed. We are releasing the framework assembly. It's part of the binary
artifacts in our maven repo --

Simple matter, IMO, to also include in the distribution page. IMO, a
vote isn't necessary (as it's already covered by the existing 2.1 vote).
I'll give this a bit of time, to see if there are contrary opinions.
Assuming, the 2.1 vote passes and there aren't any objections, I'll set
up framework in the distribution directory, also.

Thanks Kevan (and David). The framework assembly has been part of our
binary artifacts since late 2006 but we had yet to include it for
download with any release to date. And since it was not listed for 2.1,
I wasn't clear that we were going to include it this go-around either.
Thanks for the clarification.
Joe
