Hi Guys, Yep I think we've beat the dead horse here about the name :)
This is a good recent discussion/summary: http://s.apache.org/CoY and I think it had some productive outcomes. I envision a world in which we keep releasing the current 1.x series until we get up to 1.9, and then hopefully in parallel release a set of 2.x (eventually release 2.9 if we get that far) and either 3.x is the merge of 1.x and 2.x, or 1.x becomes 3.x and we leapfrog 2.x to 4.x, etc etc. IOW, releasing from branches with active maintainers is absolutely fine and encouraged within Apache. NutchGora right now has at least Ferdy and Lewis (and you can count me in even though my support for the moment is limited to RM'ing) so that's ~3, the trunk has Julien, Markus, Lewis, myself and others so that's 4+ active peeps, so both branches have plenty of people who care deeply about releasing Nutch and kicking butt. So we're all good here. Net: here's a productive next step for nutchgora. Let's simply release it. There is nothing preventing us from doing that. If 3 +1s come in from Nutch PMC members, we can release :) I'd be happy to RM it, as I stated in http://s.apache.org/CoY so let's move forward especially now that there is a Gora 0.2 release (hat tip, Lewis). Cheers, Chris P.S. Yes, and by the way, self-flails, let's release Nutch 1.5 and get on with that too! *grin* On Apr 25, 2012, at 6:22 AM, Julien Nioche wrote: > > I must say that since the move of Nutchgora from trunk to branch it's kind of > odd that it's still referred to as 2.x.
