David,
Without coordinating a feature freeze between the major contributors,
it would be very very difficult, especially for less experienced
"volunteers", to maintain the release branches and fix the bugs.
From my personal experience trying to create the opentaps releases,
a good release can only be created if the original version is
reasonably stable and if the core developers significantly support
the effort by helping to push the bug fixes from trunk to the release
branch.
On the issue of stability:
1. I propose that we put this http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/
browse/OFBIZ-500 back into the main code base. It addressed a
typecast issue with field-to-field.
2. I think we should take a vote: how many people would like to keep
current code "as is", so the "OID" data type (used for storing images
and content) works with Derby and not PostgreSQL, versus making a
change which would make it work with PostgreSQL and not Derby?
3. I'll just keep my fingers crossed about the Geronimo transactions
manager then.
