Jody,
Looking at your list of improvements, I can't help but recognize two of the issues as being recuring, yearly issues (ever since I started developing with GT). To be blunt, it's a real pain having the project switch from stable to unstable on an iregular basis (apparently at random), which in turn adds immensley to the work required to create / test / commit bug fixes. My only request, is that if we re-open this can of worms for Nth time, lets get the major project sponsors to sign onto the plan (TOPP, RR). The basic goal here would be to align, and communicate our goals as a project to our major contributors (and vise versa), because as a project it really doesn't make sense to try and be stable when a group of developers are funded to do some major development (this has already happened too).
I'm not trying to disuade you from looking at the issues, just trying to bring forward some of my observations from the past.
On the posting of the logs to the email list, a whole hearted +1!

A request was made in todays IRC meeting to see if we can get the PMC to
be a bit more responsive. To start with we need to see who has time
still to take part in this role. I know a couple of people have stepped
down and I need to update the page....
So there are a couple of ways to do this one:
1. Ask the current list if they have time to continue
2. Mark and Sweep: check who attended this weeks meeting, or replied to
the agenda items as per PMC responsibilities
I need to emphasis that the community is very healthy with a lot of
interesting development going on, but according to our procedures we
needed a PMC to work through several issues during todays meeting.
- some difficulty collaborating
- lack of a stable geotools release for GeoServer and uDig releases
going out this week
- no progress on OSGEO incubation
There were a number of other good ideas ventured in IRC on how we can
improve GeoTools...
- post the IRC logs to email
- regular release cycle
- more of a focus on quality, possible stable and unstable release
alternating
Cheers,
Jody
