I noticed the discussion on the mailing list has been a bit slow lately, even with the prospect of doing a release. Initially I had hopes to get to graduation within 12 months, but I realize from a community perspective we have a long way to go. So I wanted to get some feedback from everybody in terms of what they think we can do to improve the situation.
I'm perfectly open to going back to the drawing board on any major issues. I had hoped that the architecture for doing .NET plugins would bring in .NET developers, but I don't see this happening. The platform matching is a pretty big chunk of code that the community may not find interesting, so I need to find out whether this should still be supported. RDF has, at best, gotten lukewarm acceptance. Finally, we have the big issue of how to bring .NET support into Maven itself. Should we just start compiling a list of features and decide whether we need them and then open up the design? Shane
