IMHO this is too fast. We did not receive any feedback on the 2.2 stuff
from any non-committer (only people working with committers). We should
run through some release candidates first, which gives the users the
impression of having something at least testable. If we want to push the
final 2.2 release now and if the current trunk is feature complete, we
should do a RC 1 release (not another milestone) and see how it is
accepted. With M2 soon and final release only one month later I feel
like flying blind ...
+1. let's have some more milestone releases and release candiates before we make
the first official release because all contracts that we establish with an
official release _are_ carved in stone. And as we know it takes a long time to
get rid of badly designed/implemented things again.
Yes, of course I agree with this in general, but personally I doubt that
releasing a 2.2-RCx will give us more feedback (perhaps I'm too
pessimistic on this).
there was at least one user who tried Cocoon 2.2 and asked questions about it on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Generally I think that documentation will make a big difference,
but well, maybe I'm too optimistic ;-)
And to be honest, my intention of the statement to get 2.2 out this
year, was a try to push things. I guess we all remember that set up a
roadmap for 2.2 some time ago (when was it, at the ApacheCon EU?) to
release milestones of 2.2 every 4 to 6 weeks and the final version in
september/october 2006. So far we managed to release just one milestone...
yes, I know. I planned to push things more in October but some unforseeable
changes in projects forced me to change my schedule. But now, it seems that I
have more time :-)
So, agreeing with your statements from above, let's release a m2 this week.
+1, I can help with the release
(http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/documentation/g2/1199.html) if you do it
on Thursday and/or Friday. We should also use the new Cocoon staging repository.
Jorg, what's the current status of it?
