Looks like we're a go. I'll push the release out tomorrow.

Hi,
This is really to get the ball rolling for Maven 3.x. While I have
some gracious guinea pigs who are arduously pummeling this code base
I wouldn't recommend anyone use this in production. If you want to
try it and give feedback that's great, but we have a lot of work we
know ourselves that needs to be done. Not trying to discourage
anyone from trying it but I honestly wouldn't expect much for a at
least a couple more weeks.
Over the next few alphas the work will be dominated by bug fixing,
regression fixing, general alignment with Maven 2.x so that all
known requirements to run Maven 2.x plugins are satisfied, and
refactoring to prepare the codebase for the fun stuff of adding new
features. There is still a lot of work todo, but by the end of
January I think I'll have a good enough idea to layout some
tentative beta dates and for GA. I know this by guestimating based
on myself, Shane, and Oleg working on this full-time and Benjamin
working part-time.
We are trying extremely hard to make everything accessible by
producing tons of ITs, a specification for POM construction and
builds coming off the grid at a very high frequency. I hope that
fairly soon into the alpha cycle we can attract Ralph into the mix
and soon after that more developers. My hope is that by the time the
betas rolls around we have 4-5 people who know the core as well as
Shane and I do now, and 7-8 by the time we hit GA.
I think from this point I would like to try and eject and alpha
every week or two with builds coming off the grid many times a day.
Please don't expect too much from the distribution if you happen to
download it as we know there are problems and we haven't started
optimizing at all yet. Shane and I had to do a release before we
went batty so we needed to get the process going. I don't think we
are going to attempt to integrate newer build of Maven 3.x into m2e
for a couple more alphas so anyone doing embedding work I can tell
you that it's not time to integrate yet.
So without fanfare, here are the standard bits you're looking for:
