Who is "we" in "work on the release"? :-)
Me too. I've been working today on that, but I was also waiting for bugs to show up since there seem to be none ATM (which I know it's impossible).
I know that preparing a release is not really fancy but it must be done.
Actually I volunteered to do that, bot got no reply. :-/
Forking right now is a sure way to let 1.1 die. Or at least postponed for quite some time.
Actually it's not a fork at all. It's a tag, nothing more. We have some interesting code that would be nice to commit (I'm talking about the metadata stuff) but I don't like to commit it to what might be 1.1 codebase. A tag is only that, a tag, to keep things clean.
But forget about it: here is my proposal:
1. send an e-mail to xindice-users (will do it right now) asking from help in bug hunting;
2. spend the next week fixing bugs;
3. release 1.1 on Dec. 9.
We need:
1. some committers willing to actually do the job of bug hunting and fixes. I'm here. I suppose Vladimir is here too: anyone else?
2. a release manager (the guy actually doing the release). Again, I volunteer for that but if some of you guys is willing to do it, he's most welcome and saves me a lot of work;
3. it would be nice to understand how to make the announcement on Freshmeat. As of now the project is held by the dbXML group, I don't know who has the karma to announce it, but it would be nice to recover it;
Sounds good?
