Interest? Yes. However, here's where my first significantly unpopular decision is likely to happen. I don't think we can incorporate those changes for 2.2. We have way too many issues that need to be resolved. Open bugs in the code and in the documentation, and a major documentation overhaul, are all required fixes. Changing the dispatch mechanism again? I don't think I can get behind that as yet. Our API is too undocumented, too unstable, and it's causing chaos. Every release, we're deprecating how dispatch happens. This is not good for our users, and therefore is ultimately not good for us.
What we actually need are unit tests with 100% coverage, integration tests and performance tests that really show whether something has broken or impacted performance. Ideally, these should run on a CI server where we can always see the history and current status.
When we have put such automated tests in place, we can tackle larger refactorings with much more confidence, and development will also be much more fun.
Florent just told me he is still offering his dedicated server which would be ideal for such purposes, and we could also use it for bug tracking if it turns out we cannot migrate the Trac to SF because of lack of API documentation and limitations of the hosted Trac.
So to make progress here I suggest we give the SF migration a chance only until next week. But if it turns out SF is too limited we should gladly accept Florent's offer and use his dedicated server.
Another idea to push things forward: We could use http://flow.io for managing the higher level project management, coordinating our efforts, keeping track of what needs to be done and spreading the workload.
