I'm thinking of tagging 2.3.0 alpha a month before we gather in New Orleans for ApacheCon 2008/US <http://us.apachecon.com/c/acus2008/> so that we can begin to gather community feedback and actually /do/ something about it at the hackathon.
Ok, I'm using 'we' sort of liberally, I'm training a day of httpd all day Mon, and Rich takes the stage Tuesday which happens to be BarCamp day moreso than hackathon. Since it doesn't look likely for me to do so much hacking, the least I can do is offer to RM the first alpha. Which brings me to the other half of [community], I'm proposing we hold an Apache httpd {next} barcamp session for the community who are at ApacheCon BarCamp on Tuesday to learn about what has changed, what might change, and perhaps if we get enough folks to express interest ... about what they want to change. Think in terms of Rich's "What I hate about Apache", x 15 voices or so :) Thoughts?
