we are now three :) by the ancient apache rule of three, that should be enough to create a release. so, i don't see why we can't actually do a full release by the book.
all that's needed is for myself, rory and dims to commit our names to the appropriate discovery file. then elect a release manager, roll an RC followed by a VOTE and a full release. if rory's happy to roll the release, that's great. i've done a load so i'd be happy to help if needed. (i would also be willing to act as release manager if rory would prefer it that way, providing rory and dims sign up :) - robert On Wed, 2005-04-20 at 14:27 +0100, Rory Winston wrote: > Sorry Fernando, I meant a 0.3-RC jar. > > Do you know if the patches are already in CVS (i.e. if Discovery was built > from CVS now, and released into apache dist/ that would be good enough?
