Cliff Schmidt, our legal affairs guy, is insisting that we add Apache
copyright headers to all files in the Roller 2.2 release before we
can make the release. That's fine, but 2.2 is old news now and I'd
like to move forward.
So... since some of us have already put the Roller 2.3 code base
through testing and into production, I would like to focus instead on
getting a Roller 2.3 release out the door with full Apache copyright,
licensing and packaging compliance.
Here's what I'd like to do in the Roller trunk:
1 - Add copyright headers to all files
2 - Implement Proposal_RemoveUnshippables (http://tinyurl.com/rl8qo)
3 - Refactor for org.apache.roller packaging
4 - Put together a Roller 2.3 release candidate (with all 2.2 and 2.3
features)
I'd like to get this over as quickly as possible (i.e. today/
tomorrow) so we can proceed with Roller 3.0 developments like better
URLs and the front-page improvements. And BTW, Anil has already
started #1 and I've already implemented much of #2.
Does anybody object to my moving ahead with this work in the trunk?
I'd welcome comments, critiques and suggestions about any part of the
plan.

I have some local modifications to the Perl version
of that tool, but i am waiting to hear the outcome of
last week's board meeting before committing the changes.
I explained the issues to the board last week and told them that we
now have a header approved by our lawyers -- just waiting on one last
piece of feedback before sending out the proposed text and process to
the legal-discuss list. I told the board I'd have the official
resolution ready for them to vote on at the May 17th meeting.
