Cool, let us finish 2.1 and get on with the next release.
Let us have a formal release manager. It could be an active developer or
even someone outside the group who feels strongly about mail,
schedule/planning and can herd cats.. :-)
Would be good to have someone who has managed distributed or open source
projects in the past where developers are not always available. Any takers ?
I think this is an extremely critical role and would help make us all more
successful with James. We should also decide on what are we going to do in
the next major release.

Started looking at it. It seems very python oriented.
One problem is that this approach seems to require significant coding
component in scripts. Scripts are not strongly typed and at least one level
of checks are lost.
It would be good to have some template based test capability. Preferably,
tied into a standard too.
For example it should be trivial to pick from RFC 821 section
-------------------------
3.2. FORWARDING
Example of Forwarding
Either
S: RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
R: 251 User not local; will forward to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Or
S: RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
R: 551 User not local; please try <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-------------------------
And have script like
# forwarding test from RFC 821, Section 3.2
# user local
S: RCPT TO:test@localhost
C: 250.*
# user is not local
S: RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
C: 551.*
With a TestMaker it looks like a lot more work.
