Just to be really clear: I did not suggest a 0.3 release. But still, it would be nice to have a list for 1.0, so I agree with you there. Perhaps even a list for requirement of the releases in the meanwhile. Something like: Version 0.3: - dhcp - ext2 (> 2gb) - console repeater - fix bugs: foo, bar, baz Version 0.4: - console on startup - console: x switching - fix pthreadd so firefox works - fix the gnumach serial driver Version 0.5: - posix shared memory - fix fakeroot etc. Or perhaps make a list of tasks, assign points to each task (dhcp: 5, etc) and make a new 0.x release whenever 25 points were added after the last release. I do not propose this exact list. But I think it would be nice, or even stimulating to have a list of important items. First of all, we can release more often. And I think it would be nice for developers to see: If I do this and he does that, we will have a new release. Anyway, what my goal is is not only suggesting things. I hope one or more Hurd maintainers will pick up some ideas or even make the list. Or perhaps I can volunteer to make a list of items with some other people and let you guys shoot on it and to make it official afterwards. What do you think? I hope it is not too silly? ;) Thanks, Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
