Do you mean "branch" or "fork"?
Do a release branch, yes, as explained in the message, just like the
release4.0 branch. The intent is to create a binary distribution of
just the framework.

what will happen to the effort to keep the applications working

Yes, exactly.
The main intent is to release something that is easier to test and
release to attract end-users. Part of the point of attracting end-
users
is to popularize the OFBiz framework way of doing things (a
business and
service oriented application architecture as opposed to an object
oriented one).

When you're speaking of releasing the framework, is the intent to
distribute something standalone that could be downloaded / used
(and
tested / maintained) separately from the business applications?

Any other comments on this? I'd really love to get the framework
shaped up and cleaned up as much as we plan to for the near
future so
we can release something and keep it stable for a while...
Related to this, when we release the framework I really want to
put
some stuff together to talk it up and get the ideas in it out
to the
world. Part of that would be more docs and marketing material,
and
another part of it would be some press releases that go through
the
ASF public relations group. If any one or any company wants to
get
involved with that please speak up! I'll try to coordinate it for
now, but there is certainly room for public credit and mention of
contributors to the relevant materials.
