Folks - I'd like to summarize a brief conversation that Kevin and I had today regarding release planning.
* We should look to branch for a release around the end of August and will need to scope the release effort with that timeframe in mind * incompatible changes like repackaging everything will likely pull the rug out from under work in the community that won't make it in until after this branching * changing the groupId would be unlikely to hurt anyone since we are not currently publishing maven modules with the current id * if we cut an 0.5.0 release toward end up the month into early Sept then we can follow up with a 1.0 release once the community has had a chance to get patches submitted at that time we can take on incompatible changes such as repackaging Bottom line proposal: we branch for an Apache Knox 0.5.0 release at the end of July. We will need to scope the jira's for the release based on this timeframe. We will include a jira for changing the Maven groupId in this release. Inflight work in the community will want to get patches in before the 1.0 work begins and specifically before we repackage if they want to avoid the thrashing that would be involved with that.
