Hi Jukka ! First of all, let me say that I think Jackrabbit 2.0 release would be a perfect reason for going public (press). I mut admit I didn't really had a deep look into the 2.0 features and improvements compared to 1.3 (and 1.4), but I guess there is some good reason to enjoy (I'll check this out later, currently working on a deref-in-predicate turnaround).
About 1.4 release of Jackrabbit, I'm less enthusiastic, because I think some issues should definitely be addressed, or at least discussed and if the decision is to do nothing about them (yet), some damn good reasons should be found and organized into a clear and convincing "counter-attack" speech. Why am I saying this? Simply because going public means bringing on the project many people's attention, and most of them will only notice the problems and limitations of the product. And I think there is not enough progress about some major issues (administration (checkForReferencesInContent, checkForConflictingContent, trivial changes on node types only...) , queries (no joins, no dereferencing in predicates,...)). Jackrabbit 1.4 will definitely be enjoyable, some points are very interesting to me, like the configurable lucene indexing, the ocm, and I must miss some others, but I don't really think it will be the good version for a press release. Maybe I'm not supposed to answer your mail, as I'm not a member of Day, and even not an official Jackrabbit developer, but now you have my point of view, whether you want it or not ;) Frédéric Esnault -----Message d'origine----- De : Jukka Zitting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : vendredi 29 juin 2007 12:33 À : [email protected] Objet : Jackrabbit press release Hi, Apache projects can issue formal press releases when there are some major new stuff to be announced beyond the normal technical audience. Press releases are a good way to generate interest within the press, analysts, and other similar audiences. Jackrabbit 2.0 with JCR 2.0 support will definitely be a good reason for doing a press release, but I'm wondering if we should also do a press release for Jackrabbit 1.4 later this year. It seems like 1.4 is becoming our coolest release since Jackrabbit 1.0 and the timing would coincide nicely with ApacheCon US. WDYT? BR, Jukka Zitting
