Hi Justin I think I have managed to cover all your feedback in the following:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Skip+GeoTools+3
I had some trouble sorting out 8.0-M1 vs 8-M1.
The bits of new writing are:
> GeoTools jars are versioned as a group with version numbers are based on 3
> digits::
>
> <major>.<minor>.<patch>
>
> * Major (first digit), is incremented to indicate that a module has lost full
> compatibility to earlier versions.
>
> So you can safely upgrade to later versions of a module so long as the major
> version has not changed.
>
> * Minor (second digit) is incremented whenever new features are added.
>
> Modules are forward compatible across minor versions, but usually not
> backward compatible.
>
> * Patch (last digit) is for bug fixes.
>
> It is used to indicate fixes in bugs only. No new features were made and full
> compatibility is preserved.
>
> GeoTools jars released from trunk are versioned with version number based on
> 2 digits::
>
> <major>.<minor>-M<milestone>
> <major>.<minor>-RC<candidate>
>
> * Milestone is used to mark alpha or beta releases as appropriate (example
> 8.0-M1)
> * Release Candidates are marked 8.0-RC1 and indicate that the branch has been
> forked
> off trunk in preparation for final release.
And in the examples:
