(For the record, I do think these conflicted; I will state that I'm happy to be told that no one actually is arguing "don't do anything til we talk" :).) > I am very excited to move forward with 3.0.

Gotcha. That makes more sense. I don't disagree on that; I think the reason to do the 'easy' stuff is to get it out of the way; I think we're going to need to discuss before FOSS4G to be effective; working in the same room is important when working on the code, but i think that a lot of the core things to fix -- like fixing moveTo, changing LonLat/Point,etc. around to be more friendly to users, and so on, can all be things we can get together on before we actually start coding. > I'm totally in favor of branching, working collectively, and planning > starting now.

Historically, if we get 20% of the way into a feature at a f2f, we'll get it into a release. If we don't get that far, it'll stay on the "TODO" forever.
