+1, though perhaps finishing the Taxonomy pages first might be a plan
as I am sure an alpha of 2.1 will draw in new faces?

Hi everyone,
We've been trying for quite a long time to get into a mode of
faster, more incremental releases. However, when it comes to
actually doing this, we seem married to the idea of pushing out
impressive feature lists with new releases.
I'd like to call an end to that practice, and start pushing out a
2.1-alpha-1 release of Maven. No, it's not perfect. No, it doesn't
have even the beginnings of some of the features we'd like to have
in 2.1 eventually. Yes, there will be some regressions. But after
all, this would be the first alpha release of the 2.1 minor
version...so it's expected to be more of a quick sketch, and
lacking some (perhaps important) details.
2.1-SNAPSHOT already has some interesting new capabilities. I'm
sure I can't name them all, but I know that personally, I've
enabled custom profile activators and the ability to preview the
build plan before it's executed, among other things. We've
(primarily Jason) been steadily improving the embedder support, and
that's gotten pretty damn good at this point, too. I for one would
like to start getting some feedback about the stuff we're working
on out here, and I think putting together a packaged distribution
is the best way to go about that.
What do others think?
