Re: [nant-dev] Drop support for .NET-1.x?
Hello Matt, I agree, trying to bite off too much is difficult in an OSS project -- we just don't have the capacity to stay focus on it (full time). As a result, I am using a agile approach to keep the cycle short and to generate faster turnarounds into the hands of the users. Perhaps in the future, when there are more active members, we can look into developing more formal planning process and organization. (I am not a PM by profession, so I am sure there are more experienced people who can do a better job than me.)

Fixing everything would take too long and prevent more critical features from being developed. This is why I want to start a roadmap and have the community contribute to what they think is most important a stable successful 1.0 release. The faster we can wrap up 1.0, the sooner we can work on the next major 2.0. For example, speaking for myself, I am generally happy with things the way they are, but want to fix a few minor bugs with the XML tasks. On the other hands, others might have different needs.

Can we drop support for .NET 1.x and beginning beginning .NET 2.0 as a minimum? If there are no objections, I am going to change the default release from set-net-1.0-framework-configuration to set-net-2.0-framework-configuration Speaking personally, I have no problem dropping .NET 1.X since all of my work as of late has been based on .NET 2.0 and greater. However, I obviously can't speak for everyone out there and I can only imagine that there may be some projects out there that can't, or won't, upgrade beyond version 1.1. Do you think it would be possible/feasable to release a final version of 0.86 with the recent work you have been doing as the last version that supports .NET 1.X and then drop .NET 1.X support going forward? I would hate to leave .NET 1.X support on a beta. Thoughts? Also, I want to enlist the help of more developers to get more work done, faster. I think SF has a way of advertising for help, where is it? I would like to help but I wouldn't know where to start. Is there a roadmap or todo list out there somewhere? -- Thanks, Ryan Regards, Charles __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites.
