Postgresql is a good example.

Chris,
Exactly. If anyone knows of any I'd love to see how they're doing
things... it's not an easy course in general, and I'm not sure if
there are really many community driven enterprise level projects.

are, maybe we should see how they best accopmlish
this.

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.
