Hi all,
As much as I try to avoid getting involved in release numbering
discussions, I will say I agree with Chris, Jason, and Jim.
I think the community should make a big PR splash when the full client
is ready for production use, and the PR splash will be more meaningful
with a big version jump at the same time.
There have been a few moments in the 2.x series when we could have
jumped to 3.0, particularly when template toolkit was ready for
production. We've waited this long to make the jump, I think we can wait
a little longer until the web client is fully ready.
Having said that, I'm not going to beat a dead horse if the ultimate
decision is to go to 3.0

Quoting Chris Sharp <[email protected]>:
I think the criterion for a "3.0" release is pretty straightforward.
If the web client will be fully usable in all major functionality
(Circulation, Cataloging, Administration, Acquisitions), with multiple
printer options and standalone in place and easily installable by a
reasonably experienced Windows administrator, we should call it 3.0
and have a big splash news release about it. If not, I think we
should go with 2.10.
I agree that beating the dead horse of release numbering in general is
not productive, but as with 2.0 several years ago, 3.0 should mean
more than "that number was next".
I just want to say that for the most part, I agree with Chris. I'm not married
to version numbers, but I've long thought 3.0 should be reserved for when the
browser staff client is recommended over the XUL client.
