-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As a start, maybe we should call for all interested parties to have a look at issues (focusing on bugs primarily) and use the JIRA voting system. This would give us a good hint as to what is immediately wanted/needed. I can in parallel take a look to try to summarize outstanding issues as well ...
It would also be nice perhaps to add a couple of new versions to JIRA (1.2, 1.2.1 or even 1.3) and re-assign pending maintenance and enhancements for 1.X - giving us small roadmap to work against. Emphasis on 'maintenance updates' at the moment, to see where the wind takes it ...
