I always liked the previous naming scheme, where each stable release had a integer number, which would make this release 11. But I do not care much about the numbering scheme. Bob's suggestion is in line what we have used in the last period. One question... is it planned to have a bug fix series based on 10.1 ? That is, 10.00 was the stable, followed by 10.00.xx being the development series. No bug fix releases were made, as far as I know... will we stick to this, or might it be a good idea to have 10.01.xx for stable releases with possible bug fixes, and 10.02.xx for the development branch? In which case I would prefer to use the Linux kernel setup where even numbers indicate the stable release, and odd the development releases. Which would make the upcoming stable release 10.02.xx and the next development series 10.03.xx... The reason why I ask this is because a lot of websites are using the Jmol applet now for rather serious purposes... and requiring them to use the development branch for bug fixes they need, might not be a overly good idea. On the other hand, it *would* require a bit more labour on our side... that is, we would need a maintainer of the stable branch, who decides what bug fixes get applied to the stable branch...
