- JTA lib: I proposed to use the JTA port done by the Geronimo people. Shall we use this for the source release of Slide and check it into the CVS?
+1
note that I also propose a change in the way we store libraries in CVS, see my next email for this.
I will add it to the CVS if there are no objections...
- I have lots of confusing stuff about Release Numbers and how to determine if a release is alpha, beta, rc or whatever. Could someone clarify?
eheh, there is no real apache-wise standard on what those numbers mean.
We can follow the HTTPD2/Tomcat5 habit and keep adding numbers until we think we can go final.
We can follow the odd/even strategy, a-la linux kernel (but nobody does in apache).
or we can follow the usual (keep it beta until final), but we have already 2.0.1 tagged on CVS.
I guess this 2.0.1 was not meant to be a release tag or anything like this, but its name was choosen rather randomly. Thus we should not bother...
I prefer this the last version like: 2.0b1 2.0b2 (if needed) 2.0rc1 2.0rc2 (if needed) 2.0
- Docs: Still a *HUGE* TODO! Anyone volunteering? Can we have a beta release without all these docs?
release early and often. my suggestion: don't hold a release because there are no docs. An up-to-date README/INSTALL pair should be enough for a first beta of a reborn effort. The docs will come later, with more users and developers... and if they knew how to get the system working anyway, that will filter them out and give us people that can really help.
OK. This fits my plans. I still have to clean/remove/update docs to have a (more or less) consistent state for the 2.0. As I said I probably will be done with all my stuff by the end of the week.
this is a community building trick and worked for me very well in the past.
If it works this is very good trick ;)
