I sent a very simple roadmap of what I thought should be done in order to release a new version, in the hopes that more people would expand it. Sadly, it didn't get much attention and I don't know if anybody else is motivated to roll a release: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-thrift-dev/200902.mbox/%[email protected]%3e http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-thrift-dev/200902.mbox/%[email protected]%3e I even tried (without success) to stoke the fire by starting a commit/bug squashing fest and keeping people motivated, but I don't think I'm qualified to officially organize anything or tell anyone what to do. Sorry if I sound too pessimistic and/or whiny, but after reviewing issues and sending patches for them that didn't even affect me (I'm interested in Python, but have contributed to C++, Perl, C#, Ruby, etc. anyway), and seeing that they're not only not being committed, but not being discussed at all, I'm becoming less and less motivated to contribute. I'm not asking them to be automatically committed, but at least, some discussion (and criticism!) around them would be great. Cheers.
