Does anyone have a list of showstopper bugs and features. If we want a 3.0 release soon, then perhaps some kind of a prioritized list would help us in the community concentrate some of our efforts? I was thinking that the individuals with commit privileges could put this together since they are

Btw (aimed to Greg and anyone else) - never feel that the committers would be best to put it together. I've gotten Open Source projects out the door without being a committer simply by listing the things I/they thought they should work on on a wiki. It's a bit more of a pain without access to

Yes, criticism well made. However, in solving the voting problem, the fewer the voters and the fewer the choices, the quicker that a solution can be determined. The worry is that 1000 people pull in 1000 directions, as opposed to 10 people pulling in 6 directions. ;-) On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at

Hey guys, I guess we should have a thorough look at this process for our own 3.0 release. We are clearly late and we have a huge pile of unsorted issues. Many people open more and more requests while we try to solve them, as can be seen from Jira activity in the last few months. People start

If you are trying to get a 3.0 release out ASAP, you just need to address showstopper bugs. If a new package is too new and shiny to put out and not fully baked, consider taking it out of 3.0. Radical but simple. The exceptions issue is tricky you want to have something stable for future
