It doesn't seem unreasonable at all to relabel the tacos4-alpha-7-pretap4-1 branch to just tacos4.0 at all. I'd still prefer to keep the branch on whatever the latest and greatest is, but maybe even there it is better to branch when you're guaranteed to have everything broken (as in my maven2 move sitting there now) .
I will save most of this for the roadmap, but to answer your questions:
-) I'm hoping that tacos4.0 will move from alpha to beta relatively soon with us focusing on bugfixes and tiny tweaks here and there for now with the eventual goal of releasing a final tacos4.0.
We can try upgrading dojo if we want, but I already had to change some things in trunk to get it working again (mostly with floating panes), so if someone wants to do it they'll have to take responsibility for any and all changes that need to be made to keep things stable.(we are trying to get more stable, not less)
-) Besides bugfixes and tiny tweaks I don't see myself doing a whole lot of active development in tacos for the next two months or so, though I'm sure there will be plenty of spilloff sitting in branch of me playing around with new features in tapestry4.1 to see if the api feels right from a client/user perspective. (Maybe I should start creating another demo app in tapestry, haven't figured that one out yet)
-) The naming conventions of tacos4.0 and tacos4.1 mimicking tapestry seem like the easiest path for me. I'm pretty lazy anyways so if it's already inuitive for people to know that we're doing this then all the better. Of course everything is up for debate, I don't have the last say in any of this.
That's basically it. The testng patch work is done for the most part now, there'll probably be some bug fixes and such once in a while that I work on but the majority of my time will be in tapestry4.1 for a while, with the disclaimer that everything I'll be doing will be directly beneficial to tacos ;)
How does everyone else feel about this? Do you think tacos is going in the wrong direction, am I leaving other considerations out?

I feel a bit confuse about the current development status. and lost my way on the next step development.
Here is what I am trying to understand:
* The tacos4-alpha-7-pretap4-1 is the further development branch of tacos4-alpha-7
which would be based on Tapestry 4.0 + latest dojo?(or not? )
As Leonardo said we should not forget that for Tapestry 4.0 developers
only bugfix should be made to this branch, if there are bugs caused by dojo, then we may update dojo, right?
and in the future, we may release tacos4-beta-1, tacos4-beta-2, .. tacos4 final? and this branch is built by Ant.
If so , I think we should call this branch *tacos4* which following the Tapestry 4.0
and I am not sure whether we can do that further to release tacos4 final,
maybe far before that time the main focus should be on HEAD branch.
* The HEAD branch is based on latest Tapestry(4.1) + latest dojo?
We may do a lot of big refactorings and even change the whole structure of the project. and is built by Maven2
Is that we are going to call it *tacos4.1* which following the Tapestry 4.1?
Which branch we should emphasize on now?
