Yes, the project is not good enough at communicating the roadmap clearly. We often hide behind the fact that nobody knows since it's open source, but I think the PMC would benefit from trying to maintain some sort of no-guarantee roadmap clarifying to all what most people think will happen going forward.
My clear opinion is that 3.1 *will* be released as the next major release before the holidays, and that we'll see 3.2 and 3.x releases as well once enough of the new suff from trunk stabilizes. The community is planning more frequent releases than once a year going forward! Then, at some point, a 4_x branch will be created from trunk to release a 4.0 release with some radical non-backward compatible changes over 3.x, while trunk changes focus to becoming the next 5.x. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com On 15. nov. 2010, at 15.56, kenf_nc wrote: > > Thanks Jan.
