Hi all! As everything cooled down a little again I thought it might be worthwhile to talk about and plan the things we want to see done for 1.0. I added a couple of entries in the RoadMap already (http://wiki.monotone.ca/RoadMap/), feel free to expand and / or comment on these.
After we talked about what we want to see / have for 1.0, we should probably talk about _when_ we want to do these things, i.e. also how much man power we have, and that will probably lead us to a reasonable release date. I don't know how your current plans are, but I have a bit spare time for several things over the next couple of weeks and it might even be a good idea to hold of one or two small weekend sprint to really bring several things forward. Beside implementation issues, bug fixes and in-tree documentation changes, these things come into my mind, which are all not directly connected with the pure tarball release: * finally get the buildbot working, so we have a stable release infrastructure again * review the most important parts of the wiki and bring them up-to-date, many pages are still horribly outdated there or simply non-relevant nowadays * improve first-level documentation and tutorials, especially since I expect that the 1.0 release might get noticed by a broader audience which also includes new users, so it would be totally cool to make their entry into the monotone world as easy as possible (extra bonus point: move mailing lists over to monotone.ca, i.e. get rid of the last dependency we have to nongnu.org) I'm open for ideas and help offers in all of these areas - the thing is just that I want to act a little less pushier, i.e. not constantly poll you guys to deliver certain things :) If this means however that a release by the end of this year is not possible, then its ok as well. But I have to inform you that I will give the project lead / release manager hat over to Thomas Moschny earlier than originally anticipated in this case (i.e. before the 1.0 release), simply because other things are probably calling too loud for me in Q1 that I can no longer ignore them... Thanks for reading, Thomas. -- GPG-Key 0x160D1092 | tommyd3...@jabber.ccc.de | http://thomaskeller.biz Please note that according to the EU law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange might be retained for a period of six months or longer: http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/?lang=en
