Hi,

I would like to check how far we are from the 2.0 beta 1, I think many users
are waiting for it, and we were supposed to release it much earlier.

Among the open issues assigned to the beta 1, one which requires more work
and can't be postponed IMHO is the tutorials review. We already discussed
that and Gilles suggested to make something where the output is
automatically captured and verified. I don't know if you've had time to work
on that Gilles, but I think it can be very time consuming, while reviewing
tutorials text is still necessary anyway.

So I think we'd better go with the good old human review. I'm ok to spend
some time on that, even though I would appreciate any kind of help (and this
is something that can be done even by non committers, the tutorials as well
as any other documentation can be contributed with patches).

To start with the first tutorial (go-ivy), we need a location to download
ivy.jar from (at least for the go-ivy tutorial). Where can we put this jar?
On our site? IMO the best location would be in maven repository. The
problems are:
- we will only be able to put it over there once we have done the release,
- it still requires some work from us to do that: write a pom, update our
release script to prepare artifacts ready to be uploaded to the repository.

So, shall we go this way? And even if we publish on the maven repository,
shall we use it to download ivy.jar for the go-ivy tutorial?
