If it has a decent test suite and is released, I have no problem putting
it in, at least early in the RC process (to give it a little soak time).
With a strong test suite, I would think this soak period would give us a
good enough chance to check site production...though I wonder, will this
require a corresponding upgrade in the site plugin's own dependencies?
i.e. is the API backward compatible?
If we move down the path of releasing Doxia ASAP then IMO we can push to
get it into 2.1.0. I understand the vicious cycle, but part of the
problem there is that Doxia is apparently unused except in Maven
itself...is that correct?

Picking up the doxia thread:
I have the feeling Doxia is never going to get out of it's vicious
circle: we are hesitant to release 1.1 because without the site plugin
using it, it doesn't get any hard-core testing, and for maven you guys
don't want to use it because it hasn't been released for so long...
First we were told that maven 2.0.9 will switch to doxia beta-1, then
2.0.10 then 2.0.11, then 2.1-SNAP, then 2.1-M3, now 2.2.... :)
Just count the issues of the site plugin that depend on a doxia upgrade,
at one point we'll have to switch to make any progress. I was really
hoping to get this in for M3.

I thought this was already the direction we were going... (see
"releasing 2.0.10" thread).
I already suggested we drop the auto parent version and PGP stuff from
the roadmap, and I'm all for getting to a final release ASAP.
Personally, I would still like to give the Doxia change a trial - and
should it prove to have *any* problems we pull it back to 2.2. I think
this is causing the Doxia guys some grief - so I'd like to hear from
them. I'm probably 50/50 on parallel downloads - would prefer to see
it in, but not if it requires a lot of integration work or causes
problems.
We do need the password security changes finished. Oleg, are you
working on the docs or should I put them together based on your blog?
Is there anything else left to do in the code? I think that dependency
needs to be out of alpha before we go final - I think we discussed
that sort of criteria for external dependencies a while back.
Thanks,
Brett
