Great - thanks for the feedback. 

Did you use the persistence stuff, or just the plain
conversation-scoping?

Yes. Hopefully either Mario or I will post an RC tomorrow or the day
after, and start the vote.

Yep. The last release was just to the maven repo. It's rather tempting
to do the same again, actually. Is a download bundle actually useful to
anyone?

We're working on it, but there's quite a lot of effort still needed. It
all works (and is being used in production) but needs a lot of polishing
before a stable API can be declared. Probably a couple of months away..

Agreed. But there isn't enough manpower ATM to write both 1.0 and 1.1
docs. I have *tried* to indicate where 1.0 and 1.1 differ. If there are
any bits that are misleading please let me know.

Ideally there would be different websites for different releases. The
Maven project has just moved to this approach for plugin docs, but are
still ironing out the problems; I don't know of any other project that
has yet managed to do this. And unfortunately I don't have time to be a
leader in this area - but am happy to be a follower if someone can show
how it can be done.

I'll update the docs in the next few days to improve that. Another user
also pointed out that we need to better document the spring
conversationName attribute.

The Orchestra Examples project does use this annotation, so you can look
there for information but it does need to also be on the website docs.

Cheers, Simon
