Everything beyond that > is gravy ;-) +1 we've reached a bit of a critical point now we can't scaling: we rely on a small number of people who understand how to create good releases and maintain the site build but we really need to add new committers and expand the community. it's easy to reorganize short term priorities if we can see that we be able to solve some of the problems which have been sapping our energy and enthusiasm. maintain two builds (though) will just become yet another chore. in a way, commons is easy since we insist that the component websites are built in a particular fashion. as for releases, we've had so many releases in recent times take months and months for technical reasons which could be addressed by a tool i think that any solution would have a big take up. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
