Since we are having a discussion about what specific version number the release should be, I think we are not using semantic version at the moment. Semantic versioning does not depend on political or cultural issues, just on API retrocompatibility, which is not subject to opinions. Following semver, the first release should either be 0.0.0 or 1.0.0 (which is why I suggested the later), and the following releases will have a number according to the rules explained in the semver site. Whether or not it'll be used in the future is up to discussion, I guess :-)
