: solr release in some time, would it be worth looking at what outstanding : issues are critical for 1.3 and perhaps pushing some over to 1.4, and : trying to do a release soon?
That's what is typically done when the Developers start getting an itch to make a release. Jira keeps track of all the issues that are marked outstanding issues that have been targed for 1.3... http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310230&fixfor=12312486 ..some of these are major features that are in active development (in some cases: partially commited) while others are more wishlist items that misc people have said "it would be really cool to try and do this for 1.3" but have no patches attached yet. If people are particularly eager to see a 1.3 release, the best thing to do is subscribe to solr-dev and start a dialog there about what issues people thing are "show stopers" for 1.3 and what assistance the various people working on those issues can use. -Hoss
