Hello folks, we are always closer to our first official GNU release, before it can happen I would like to define what is asbolutely required and what we can postpone after the release.
The GUI application is work-in-progress so it will not be available in time for the release. I think we can plan a RC1 for the first half of July, approximately 10-11 July. A second rc, if bugs were found in the RC1, can be released after a week, and after another week, finally release MyServer 0.9. This first GNU release was a bit more complicated and took more time than I was expecting, things will change after, when 2-3 months will be a reasonable time between releases. This is the list of things we have to complete before releasing: 1) Add documentation for missing configuration options. 2) Add FTP logging, at least for most important events and for requests. 3) Test MyServer under Windows. What I consider impossible to have for 0.9, and that is part of our long-term goals: 1) Localization using gettext. 2) Apache mod_rewrite like plugin. 3) libguile extendibility. 4) New ways to configure resources permission (LDAP, OS, ODBC...). 5) GUI. 6) Abstraction of configuration files. 7) Load-balancer. 8) New protocols. 9) WebDAV. 10) ... Do you see other things we have to do now? After the release? Any comment in general? Thanks, Giuseppe
