No worries take a whack at it. Though IMO its too bad the "apache

Not sure in what manner the "apache way" has slowed this down. Getting
licensing info correct? May be a PITA, but don't see how that's a bad
thing... Sorry I got a bit time-constrained. It's not like I really
enjoy it, either -- which doesn't help...
If you were constrained by implementing forward looking function, then
svn cp https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/gshell/trunk https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/gshell/branches/1.0-alpha-1
might have been useful
People may feel that alpha-1 is good enough... Or Gshell may be at
alpha-2 by the time G is ready to release
Its certainly not going to be perfect that's for sure. Which is why
I tend to follow the release often strategy. Push out something that
is functional, fix it up and then push it out again.
Seems to me like we have a 2-3 week minumum for each release, almost
regaurdless of what it is... Though the javaee server and its tck
muck certainly adds on more weeks.
It seems like if nothing at all changed ina subproject it will still
take the better part of a month to make a release :-(
Well take a look... Let's try to get this finished in the next week
na... I'm goinig to be out of the country for 3 weeks startin on the
22nd.... And I'd reallly, really like to have the release done by
then....
Heh. Now you tell me... Sorry, you need to cancel... :-P I can use
that as part of my evaluation criteria...
But more so I think we need to rethink our stratagy. on
releases.... It should be easy and quick. IMO the 3 day vote period
is long enough :-P
Well ping me if you need something changed. I'm at your disposal
next week if it helps move things along...aight?
I have no issues with release early, release often. However, I will
tend to hold Gshell releases slated for a Geronimo release to a higher
standard than I might otherwise. Once there's a stable gshell release
base, this may become less of an issue...
