I am not totally happy with the numbering system either. I want to
start pushing earlier numbering system. For example my Alexandria
project is 0.0.2 (http://relativity.yi.org/alexandria) and hopefully
will soon be an Apache projects. Jetspeed 1.0 will really be 1.0.0 and
will be updated to reflect this. The point here is release early,
release often. After this i want Jetspeed to proceed at a very
evolutionary pace.
As per the docs, that was my fault. I should have done a better job
here. Check out the updated documentation:
http://relativity.yi.org/jetspeed/site/overview.html
The truth is that things move fast around here. Too fast to get
anything done :). Jetspeed 1.0 is sort of in CVS right now and will
probably be released soon. I just have some more things to finish up.
Jetspeed 1.0.1 and the next
generation should follow soon.
Hopefully we will get this all corrected soon. The truth is I regret a
lot of the decisions I made early on with Jetspeed and this has caused
it to lag towards the 1.0 release. I should have scrapped all the code
and started fresh. However, I got stuck up on the same things that have
slowed down other projects like Mozilla and Jakarta, legacy code.
This has all been removed now. We are in the next generation of code.
Check out ./docs/misc/TODO to see what is coming around the bend. A lot
of things have me excite here.
Sorry you had such a rough time. :(
