I'm not sure BB is targeted at "the masses".

One really feels like something have been closed Which is why it should be used only if that is the case. Picking up the development and releasing a new bug-patch-release does, IMHO, not sound like something has been closed, but rather something has been openend. > , a project > have been done, so now new energy can be put into the next move. > After 1.0 we could have 1.0.x releases with bugfixes and 1.1.x for > devel. > > o We would also give the impression that development picked up again. > And it did! Souceforge sites, new guy in charge etc. etc. etc. It sure has, but the upcoming version should be numbered according to what it is. And it's not a 1.0. I'd suggest calling this version whatever you like, release it, get feedback, update the code, fix bugs, NOT add feeatures or any new code *whatsoever* (except for closing bugs), test it and _then_ /maybe/ call it 1.0 and go from there. -Jan -- http://www.netmeister.org http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~jschauma/
