That's unfortunate because I'm one of those business users trying to use Maven 1.x in a development environment. (I've developed a few plug-ins that I might open source in the future as well as contributing a few minor patches to some existing plugins.) Like many users I have a love-hate relationship with Maven. There is tremendous power in Maven, but definitely some frustrations as well. I think the Maven 2 effort is a Good Thing and the idea of refactoring m1 to have some m2 components is a good one as well. As a developer (especially a volunteer one) it is always more fun to be developing the next generation than making minor improvements and bug fixes to the current one.

My interests in improving Maven 1.1 involve plugins that do XSLT processing of project documentation as an integrated part of the build. Because of this I'm very interested in support for Ant 1.6.x and the latest Xerces (and Xalan) as well. Since there seem to be limited human resources available for release 1.1, my suggestions for the Maven 1.1 release are: 1) Add a 1.2 release to the roadmap and push as many features as possible into that release. 2) Make an alpha release of 1.1 as soon as possible to make it easier for testers. 3) Recruit one or more new committers who are interested in maintaining the 1.x code. I'd like to try out a 1.1 alpha and possibly submit bugs/patches for it, but would be much more motivated if a (feature reduced) release was more imminent. (I see from the changes file that the feature I want Ant 1.6.2 is already in there.) Perhaps this discussion should move to the developers list, but I'd like to find out what is involved in doing a 1.1 release and find out if there is anything I could do to help.
