I suppose I just need the answer to a few of
questions.
1) Is the release that RC1 is for going to be
officially 4.0?
Please see my answers to Christian Geisert's questions about this
topic. They were on this list in the last couple of days.
2) What is the distinction that the Apache Ofbiz
community would want to take between a .X release
point and a X.0 release point?
I think we'll just have 3 dot-separated numbers, ie 4.0.0. The last
number would be for multiple releases in a single branch. In other
words 4.0.0 is the first release in the 4.0 branch, and 4.0.1 is the
second in that branch, and so on. 4.1 would be a separate branch and
incrementing this second number would be for more minor changes. If
we get to a big milestone or do a big change, we'd change the first
number.
This is how we've planned to do it in the past, and a fairly common
version numbering system that is pretty well understood.
3) When a decent road map feature set is voted on is
using subtasks in Jira preferred or the "Affects
Version" field?
The Affects Version field is more for bug fixes of a branch versus
the trunk (the SVN "version"). If a bug is reported in 4.0.1, for
example, we might see if it also exists in the trunk but the bug
report is for that version.
For now let's not put high level and proposed features in Jira until
thy have concrete support behind them. Otherwise we just end up with
a confusing mess... In other words I think it would work better to
have planning done in Confluence pages, and then specific tasks (once
actionable...) put into Jira and referred to from there. This is
early thought on this topic (ie just a proposal) and I know we
haven't discussed, so feedback and other ideas would be great.

That's something I would be very much interested
in
doing/maintaining/ collaborating in.
Great! What do you need to get started?
As for a place to put the results, perhaps a page in
the wiki (OFBIZ)
part of docs.ofbiz.org would be the best.
