I'll chime in and mention that several people that I've talked to have been confused about this. I think it would be great if the Shindig release version were to match the latest spec version that it fully implements.

Thanks,
Tim

Hey folks,

I am really excited that we're getting to an OpenSocial v0.8 (well, 0.8.1) compliant release. I think we'll learn a lot about making Shindig a great
piece of infrastructure through these releases.

To Ian's question, I think we should be careful about the version number: it
seems confusing if we have OpenSocial at v0.8, but Shindig at v1.0.
Shindig's mission/scope is to implement the OpenSocial spec, so it's awkward to have different numbering systems for the releases of the implementation. I certainly realize that versions are just arbitrary numbers, but sending
the message that Shindig is at 1.0 is over-promising with regards to
potentially breaking changes and stability, given the state of the
"underlying" spec.

My thought was that this would be a release of Shindig v0.8.

I don't expect this to be controversial, but I should as just for process.

Proposing
Branch shindig to
branches/1.0.x  with a version of 1-SNAPSHOT
increment trunk version to 1.1-SNAPSHOT indicating 1.1 will be the next
release.

The version numbers are more for Java than for Php, but I guess there might
be a version number in the php code ?

I have done a dry run of the maven release plugin and there are no issues, so it should be a simple one command process. (it also branches the php code
because we left a pom in the base directory)

Any comments ?
Happy with the version numbers ?

Ian
