Keeping everything up to date is the role of the champion you mention below. > Then publicize it a bit and call for testers to essentially try what > would essentially be a release candidate. The call for testing should be made by the champion; unless I've missed a post, I don't think this has happened. The branch hasn't been touched for 2 months, but I don't know if this is because the work is done, or because Derek Anderson (the SOC participant running the schema-evolution project) hasn't had time to work on it, or if he has just lost interest. Either way, the ultimate goal would be to convince Adrian that the branch is stable, get him to take a look at it, and merge the branch into the trunk. Adrian is pretty busy, so I'm guessing he would be looking for some community consensus that the branch is complete and stable before he spends any time looking at it. > Maybe someone is already thinking along these lines? It seems like the > branch could benefit from a "champion" who actively pushes it through. This 'champion' role should be performed by Derek and/or Kenneth Gonsalves (the SOC mentor for the project). If you want to help out, check out the branch, and take it for a test drive. If what you find is stable, let the community know; if it isn't, log bugs (and patches if you can) until it is.
