on that, BTW), and it doesn't sound like there will be any shortage of
people to help get the work done. That, in itself, wouldn't seem to
necessitate a 3.0.
Note that the above doesn't mean I'm not in favour of a 3.0. It'd just be
odd if we voted for a 3.0, forked the codebase, then discovered the itch
didn't match the will to scratch. :)
I agree. So let's build our feature list, and see who'll sign up for what. No sign-up, no feature. Note that I've taken a first step by trying to decouple the move to subversion from discussion of what should be in 3.0, and whether 3.0 should be.
Here's a list of potential tasks. Not all of them have to happen, and they certainly won't happen if we nobody will sign-up for the tasks:
CALL FOR SIGN UP:
Please respond indicating whether you'll sign up for the work. If there' s something else you want to contribute, please indicate. Help is needed where there is no resource specified, or where there's a question mark.
